So the greatest common factor 889,168 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 306,851
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 260406
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/260406
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 889/306,168/851 is 7/260406
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 306,851 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(306,851) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(306,851) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(306,851) = ( 306 × 851 ) / 1
LCM(306,851) = 260406 / 1
LCM(306,851) = 260406
