So the greatest common factor 944,702 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 957,205
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 196185
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/196185
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 944/957,702/205 is 2/196185
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 957,205 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(957,205) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(957,205) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(957,205) = ( 957 × 205 ) / 1
LCM(957,205) = 196185 / 1
LCM(957,205) = 196185
