So the greatest common factor 396,994 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 539,375
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 202125
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/202125
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 396/539,994/375 is 2/202125
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 539,375 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(539,375) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(539,375) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(539,375) = ( 539 × 375 ) / 1
LCM(539,375) = 202125 / 1
LCM(539,375) = 202125
