So the greatest common factor 573,996 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 286,261
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 74646
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/74646
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 573/286,996/261 is 3/74646
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 286,261 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(286,261) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(286,261) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(286,261) = ( 286 × 261 ) / 1
LCM(286,261) = 74646 / 1
LCM(286,261) = 74646
