So the greatest common factor 290,588 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 461,302
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 139222
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/139222
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 290/461,588/302 is 2/139222
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 461,302 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(461,302) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(461,302) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(461,302) = ( 461 × 302 ) / 1
LCM(461,302) = 139222 / 1
LCM(461,302) = 139222
