So the greatest common factor 296,200 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 137,579
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 79323
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/79323
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 296/137,200/579 is 8/79323
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 137,579 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(137,579) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(137,579) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(137,579) = ( 137 × 579 ) / 1
LCM(137,579) = 79323 / 1
LCM(137,579) = 79323
