So the greatest common factor 442,490 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 871,366
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 318786
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/318786
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 442/871,490/366 is 2/318786
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 871,366 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(871,366) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(871,366) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(871,366) = ( 871 × 366 ) / 1
LCM(871,366) = 318786 / 1
LCM(871,366) = 318786
