So the greatest common factor 902,970 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 604,229
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 138316
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/138316
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 902/604,970/229 is 2/138316
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 604,229 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(604,229) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(604,229) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(604,229) = ( 604 × 229 ) / 1
LCM(604,229) = 138316 / 1
LCM(604,229) = 138316
