Lets's calculate LCM of 259,960
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 248640
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/248640
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 843/259,7908/960 is 3/248640
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 259,960 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(259,960) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(259,960) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(259,960) = ( 259 × 960 ) / 1
LCM(259,960) = 248640 / 1
LCM(259,960) = 248640
