So the greatest common factor 946,150 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 865,253
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 218845
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/218845
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 946/865,150/253 is 2/218845
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 865,253 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(865,253) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(865,253) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(865,253) = ( 865 × 253 ) / 1
LCM(865,253) = 218845 / 1
LCM(865,253) = 218845
