Lets's calculate LCM of 253,885
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 223905
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/223905
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8976/253,7285/885 is 1/223905
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 253,885 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(253,885) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(253,885) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(253,885) = ( 253 × 885 ) / 1
LCM(253,885) = 223905 / 1
LCM(253,885) = 223905
