So the greatest common factor 218,568 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 883,154
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 135982
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/135982
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 218/883,568/154 is 2/135982
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 883,154 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(883,154) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(883,154) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(883,154) = ( 883 × 154 ) / 1
LCM(883,154) = 135982 / 1
LCM(883,154) = 135982
