So the greatest common factor 240,632 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 907,989
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 897023
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/897023
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 240/907,632/989 is 8/897023
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 907,989 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(907,989) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(907,989) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(907,989) = ( 907 × 989 ) / 1
LCM(907,989) = 897023 / 1
LCM(907,989) = 897023
