So the greatest common factor 394,632 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 831,298
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 247638
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/247638
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 394/831,632/298 is 2/247638
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 831,298 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(831,298) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(831,298) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(831,298) = ( 831 × 298 ) / 1
LCM(831,298) = 247638 / 1
LCM(831,298) = 247638
