So the greatest common factor 464,306 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 236,429
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 101244
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/101244
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 464/236,306/429 is 2/101244
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 236,429 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(236,429) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(236,429) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(236,429) = ( 236 × 429 ) / 1
LCM(236,429) = 101244 / 1
LCM(236,429) = 101244
