Lets's calculate LCM of 442,601
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 265642
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/265642
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 888/442,996/601 is 12/265642
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 442,601 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(442,601) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(442,601) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(442,601) = ( 442 × 601 ) / 1
LCM(442,601) = 265642 / 1
LCM(442,601) = 265642
