So the greatest common factor 240,784 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 618,503
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 310854
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/310854
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 240/618,784/503 is 16/310854
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 618,503 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(618,503) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(618,503) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(618,503) = ( 618 × 503 ) / 1
LCM(618,503) = 310854 / 1
LCM(618,503) = 310854
