Lets's calculate LCM of 250,311
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 77750
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/77750
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 958/250,8984/311 is 2/77750
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 250,311 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(250,311) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(250,311) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(250,311) = ( 250 × 311 ) / 1
LCM(250,311) = 77750 / 1
LCM(250,311) = 77750
