So the greatest common factor 788,462 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 425,202
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 85850
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/85850
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 788/425,462/202 is 2/85850
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 425,202 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(425,202) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(425,202) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(425,202) = ( 425 × 202 ) / 1
LCM(425,202) = 85850 / 1
LCM(425,202) = 85850
