So the greatest common factor 836,340 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 567,197
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 111699
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/111699
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 836/567,340/197 is 4/111699
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 567,197 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(567,197) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(567,197) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(567,197) = ( 567 × 197 ) / 1
LCM(567,197) = 111699 / 1
LCM(567,197) = 111699
