So the greatest common factor 38,914 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 904,709
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 640936
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/640936
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 38/904,914/709 is 2/640936
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 904,709 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(904,709) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(904,709) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(904,709) = ( 904 × 709 ) / 1
LCM(904,709) = 640936 / 1
LCM(904,709) = 640936
