So the greatest common factor 334,848 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 661,531
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 350991
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/350991
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 334/661,848/531 is 2/350991
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 661,531 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(661,531) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(661,531) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(661,531) = ( 661 × 531 ) / 1
LCM(661,531) = 350991 / 1
LCM(661,531) = 350991
