So the greatest common factor 876,986 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 703,204
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 143412
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/143412
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 876/703,986/204 is 2/143412
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 703,204 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(703,204) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(703,204) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(703,204) = ( 703 × 204 ) / 1
LCM(703,204) = 143412 / 1
LCM(703,204) = 143412
