Lets's calculate LCM of 457,785
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 358745
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/358745
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 442/457,5253/785 is 17/358745
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 457,785 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(457,785) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(457,785) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(457,785) = ( 457 × 785 ) / 1
LCM(457,785) = 358745 / 1
LCM(457,785) = 358745
