Lets's calculate LCM of 874,269
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 235106
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/235106
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 298/874,434/269 is 2/235106
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 874,269 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(874,269) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(874,269) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(874,269) = ( 874 × 269 ) / 1
LCM(874,269) = 235106 / 1
LCM(874,269) = 235106
