So the greatest common factor 794,112 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 500,379
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 189500
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/189500
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 794/500,112/379 is 2/189500
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 500,379 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(500,379) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(500,379) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(500,379) = ( 500 × 379 ) / 1
LCM(500,379) = 189500 / 1
LCM(500,379) = 189500
