Lets's calculate LCM of 576,259
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 149184
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/149184
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9721/576,5262/259 is 1/149184
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 576,259 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(576,259) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(576,259) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(576,259) = ( 576 × 259 ) / 1
LCM(576,259) = 149184 / 1
LCM(576,259) = 149184
