So the greatest common factor 860,636 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 564,373
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 210372
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/210372
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 860/564,636/373 is 4/210372
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 564,373 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(564,373) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(564,373) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(564,373) = ( 564 × 373 ) / 1
LCM(564,373) = 210372 / 1
LCM(564,373) = 210372
