Lets's calculate LCM of 259,5681
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1471379
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1471379
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8950/259,5494/5681 is 2/1471379
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 259,5681 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(259,5681) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(259,5681) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(259,5681) = ( 259 × 5681 ) / 1
LCM(259,5681) = 1471379 / 1
LCM(259,5681) = 1471379
