Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/96302
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 891/358,599/538 is 1/96302
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 358,538 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(358,538) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(358,538) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(358,538) = ( 358 × 538 ) / 2
LCM(358,538) = 192604 / 2
LCM(358,538) = 96302
