Lets's calculate LCM of 257,223
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 57311
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/57311
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4605/257,3048/223 is 3/57311
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 257,223 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(257,223) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(257,223) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(257,223) = ( 257 × 223 ) / 1
LCM(257,223) = 57311 / 1
LCM(257,223) = 57311
