So the greatest common factor 293,842 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 319,285
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 90915
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/90915
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 293/319,842/285 is 1/90915
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 319,285 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(319,285) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(319,285) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(319,285) = ( 319 × 285 ) / 1
LCM(319,285) = 90915 / 1
LCM(319,285) = 90915
