So the greatest common factor 938,816 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 662,471
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 311802
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/311802
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 938/662,816/471 is 2/311802
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 662,471 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(662,471) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(662,471) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(662,471) = ( 662 × 471 ) / 1
LCM(662,471) = 311802 / 1
LCM(662,471) = 311802
