So the greatest common factor 704,354 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 490,857
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 419930
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/419930
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 704/490,354/857 is 2/419930
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 490,857 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(490,857) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(490,857) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(490,857) = ( 490 × 857 ) / 1
LCM(490,857) = 419930 / 1
LCM(490,857) = 419930
