So the greatest common factor 206,488 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 141,340
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 47940
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/47940
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 206/141,488/340 is 2/47940
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 141,340 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(141,340) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(141,340) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(141,340) = ( 141 × 340 ) / 1
LCM(141,340) = 47940 / 1
LCM(141,340) = 47940
