So the greatest common factor 878,352 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 299,997
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 298103
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/298103
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 878/299,352/997 is 2/298103
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 299,997 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(299,997) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(299,997) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(299,997) = ( 299 × 997 ) / 1
LCM(299,997) = 298103 / 1
LCM(299,997) = 298103
