So the greatest common factor 326,196 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 475,847
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 402325
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/402325
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 326/475,196/847 is 2/402325
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 475,847 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(475,847) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(475,847) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(475,847) = ( 475 × 847 ) / 1
LCM(475,847) = 402325 / 1
LCM(475,847) = 402325
