So the greatest common factor 351,693 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 589,178
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 104842
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/104842
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 351/589,693/178 is 9/104842
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 589,178 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(589,178) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(589,178) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(589,178) = ( 589 × 178 ) / 1
LCM(589,178) = 104842 / 1
LCM(589,178) = 104842
