So the greatest common factor 314,252 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 524,473
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 247852
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/247852
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 314/524,252/473 is 2/247852
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 524,473 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(524,473) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(524,473) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(524,473) = ( 524 × 473 ) / 1
LCM(524,473) = 247852 / 1
LCM(524,473) = 247852
