So the greatest common factor 772,978 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 503,857
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 431071
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/431071
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 772/503,978/857 is 2/431071
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 503,857 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(503,857) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(503,857) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(503,857) = ( 503 × 857 ) / 1
LCM(503,857) = 431071 / 1
LCM(503,857) = 431071
