So the greatest common factor 838,246 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 281,671
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 188551
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/188551
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 838/281,246/671 is 2/188551
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 281,671 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(281,671) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(281,671) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(281,671) = ( 281 × 671 ) / 1
LCM(281,671) = 188551 / 1
LCM(281,671) = 188551
