Lets's calculate LCM of 253,3461
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 875633
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/875633
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9996/253,1727/3461 is 1/875633
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 253,3461 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(253,3461) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(253,3461) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(253,3461) = ( 253 × 3461 ) / 1
LCM(253,3461) = 875633 / 1
LCM(253,3461) = 875633
