So the greatest common factor 686,950 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 301,104
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 31304
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/31304
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 686/301,950/104 is 2/31304
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 301,104 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(301,104) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(301,104) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(301,104) = ( 301 × 104 ) / 1
LCM(301,104) = 31304 / 1
LCM(301,104) = 31304
