So the greatest common factor 656,336 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 147,244
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 35868
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/35868
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 656/147,336/244 is 16/35868
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 147,244 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(147,244) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(147,244) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(147,244) = ( 147 × 244 ) / 1
LCM(147,244) = 35868 / 1
LCM(147,244) = 35868
