So the greatest common factor 206,704 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 298,841
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 250618
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/250618
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 206/298,704/841 is 2/250618
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 298,841 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(298,841) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(298,841) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(298,841) = ( 298 × 841 ) / 1
LCM(298,841) = 250618 / 1
LCM(298,841) = 250618
