So the greatest common factor 296,238 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 977,222
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 216894
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/216894
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 296/977,238/222 is 2/216894
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 977,222 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(977,222) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(977,222) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(977,222) = ( 977 × 222 ) / 1
LCM(977,222) = 216894 / 1
LCM(977,222) = 216894
