Lets's calculate LCM of 256,3177
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 813312
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/813312
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8373/256,4998/3177 is 3/813312
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 256,3177 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(256,3177) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(256,3177) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(256,3177) = ( 256 × 3177 ) / 1
LCM(256,3177) = 813312 / 1
LCM(256,3177) = 813312
