So the greatest common factor 468,307 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 538,171
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 91998
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/91998
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 468/538,307/171 is 1/91998
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 538,171 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(538,171) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(538,171) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(538,171) = ( 538 × 171 ) / 1
LCM(538,171) = 91998 / 1
LCM(538,171) = 91998
