So the greatest common factor 953,240 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 217,541
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 117397
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/117397
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 953/217,240/541 is 1/117397
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 217,541 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(217,541) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(217,541) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(217,541) = ( 217 × 541 ) / 1
LCM(217,541) = 117397 / 1
LCM(217,541) = 117397
