Lets's calculate LCM of 253,5738
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1451714
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1451714
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8637/253,6880/5738 is 1/1451714
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 253,5738 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(253,5738) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(253,5738) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(253,5738) = ( 253 × 5738 ) / 1
LCM(253,5738) = 1451714 / 1
LCM(253,5738) = 1451714
