Lets's calculate LCM of 257,329
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 84553
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/84553
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 973/257,942/329 is 1/84553
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 257,329 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(257,329) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(257,329) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(257,329) = ( 257 × 329 ) / 1
LCM(257,329) = 84553 / 1
LCM(257,329) = 84553
