So the greatest common factor 878,208 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 199,901
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 179299
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/179299
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 878/199,208/901 is 2/179299
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 199,901 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(199,901) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(199,901) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(199,901) = ( 199 × 901 ) / 1
LCM(199,901) = 179299 / 1
LCM(199,901) = 179299
