So the greatest common factor 200,342 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 473,954
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 451242
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/451242
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 200/473,342/954 is 2/451242
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 473,954 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(473,954) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(473,954) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(473,954) = ( 473 × 954 ) / 1
LCM(473,954) = 451242 / 1
LCM(473,954) = 451242
