So the greatest common factor 612,597 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 242,423
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 102366
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/102366
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 612/242,597/423 is 3/102366
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 242,423 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(242,423) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(242,423) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(242,423) = ( 242 × 423 ) / 1
LCM(242,423) = 102366 / 1
LCM(242,423) = 102366
