So the greatest common factor 944,888 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 170,311
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 52870
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/52870
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 944/170,888/311 is 8/52870
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 170,311 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(170,311) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(170,311) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(170,311) = ( 170 × 311 ) / 1
LCM(170,311) = 52870 / 1
LCM(170,311) = 52870
