So the greatest common factor 8004,7372 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 253,948
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 239844
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/239844
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8004/253,7372/948 is 4/239844
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 253,948 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(253,948) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(253,948) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(253,948) = ( 253 × 948 ) / 1
LCM(253,948) = 239844 / 1
LCM(253,948) = 239844
