So the greatest common factor 436,298 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 258,617
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 159186
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/159186
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 436/258,298/617 is 2/159186
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 258,617 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(258,617) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(258,617) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(258,617) = ( 258 × 617 ) / 1
LCM(258,617) = 159186 / 1
LCM(258,617) = 159186
