So the greatest common factor 518,252 is 14.
Lets's calculate LCM of 299,486
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 145314
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/145314
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 518/299,252/486 is 14/145314
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 299,486 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(299,486) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(299,486) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(299,486) = ( 299 × 486 ) / 1
LCM(299,486) = 145314 / 1
LCM(299,486) = 145314
