So the greatest common factor 568,462 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 103,203
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 20909
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/20909
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 568/103,462/203 is 2/20909
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 103,203 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(103,203) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(103,203) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(103,203) = ( 103 × 203 ) / 1
LCM(103,203) = 20909 / 1
LCM(103,203) = 20909
