Lets's calculate LCM of 263,5132
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1349716
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/1349716
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 248/263,8248/5132 is 8/1349716
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 263,5132 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(263,5132) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(263,5132) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(263,5132) = ( 263 × 5132 ) / 1
LCM(263,5132) = 1349716 / 1
LCM(263,5132) = 1349716
