Lets's calculate LCM of 257,6916
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1777412
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1777412
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8234/257,1606/6916 is 2/1777412
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 257,6916 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(257,6916) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(257,6916) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(257,6916) = ( 257 × 6916 ) / 1
LCM(257,6916) = 1777412 / 1
LCM(257,6916) = 1777412
