So the greatest common factor 659,252 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 884,191
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 168844
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/168844
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 659/884,252/191 is 1/168844
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 884,191 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(884,191) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(884,191) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(884,191) = ( 884 × 191 ) / 1
LCM(884,191) = 168844 / 1
LCM(884,191) = 168844
