So the greatest common factor 302,296 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 742,235
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 174370
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/174370
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 302/742,296/235 is 2/174370
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 742,235 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(742,235) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(742,235) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(742,235) = ( 742 × 235 ) / 1
LCM(742,235) = 174370 / 1
LCM(742,235) = 174370
