So the greatest common factor 957,812 is 29.
Lets's calculate LCM of 51,253
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 12903
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 29/12903
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 957/51,812/253 is 29/12903
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 51,253 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(51,253) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(51,253) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(51,253) = ( 51 × 253 ) / 1
LCM(51,253) = 12903 / 1
LCM(51,253) = 12903
