So the greatest common factor 542,810 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 298,983
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 292934
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/292934
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 542/298,810/983 is 2/292934
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 298,983 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(298,983) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(298,983) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(298,983) = ( 298 × 983 ) / 1
LCM(298,983) = 292934 / 1
LCM(298,983) = 292934
