Lets's calculate LCM of 254,9339
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2372106
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 59/2372106
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1239/254,8732/9339 is 59/2372106
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 254,9339 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(254,9339) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(254,9339) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(254,9339) = ( 254 × 9339 ) / 1
LCM(254,9339) = 2372106 / 1
LCM(254,9339) = 2372106
