So the greatest common factor 290,294 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 136,997
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 135592
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/135592
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 290/136,294/997 is 2/135592
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 136,997 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(136,997) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(136,997) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(136,997) = ( 136 × 997 ) / 1
LCM(136,997) = 135592 / 1
LCM(136,997) = 135592
