So the greatest common factor 368,264 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 603,848
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 511344
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/511344
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 368/603,264/848 is 8/511344
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 603,848 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(603,848) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(603,848) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(603,848) = ( 603 × 848 ) / 1
LCM(603,848) = 511344 / 1
LCM(603,848) = 511344
