So the greatest common factor 702,238 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 271,645
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 174795
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/174795
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 702/271,238/645 is 2/174795
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 271,645 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(271,645) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(271,645) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(271,645) = ( 271 × 645 ) / 1
LCM(271,645) = 174795 / 1
LCM(271,645) = 174795
