So the greatest common factor 873,594 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 331,426
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 141006
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/141006
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 873/331,594/426 is 9/141006
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 331,426 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(331,426) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(331,426) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(331,426) = ( 331 × 426 ) / 1
LCM(331,426) = 141006 / 1
LCM(331,426) = 141006
