So the greatest common factor 314,874 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 401,958
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 384158
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/384158
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 314/401,874/958 is 2/384158
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 401,958 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(401,958) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(401,958) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(401,958) = ( 401 × 958 ) / 1
LCM(401,958) = 384158 / 1
LCM(401,958) = 384158
