So the greatest common factor 590,246 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 249,674
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 167826
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/167826
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 590/249,246/674 is 2/167826
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 249,674 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(249,674) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(249,674) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(249,674) = ( 249 × 674 ) / 1
LCM(249,674) = 167826 / 1
LCM(249,674) = 167826
