So the greatest common factor 970,534 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 218,143
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 31174
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/31174
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 970/218,534/143 is 2/31174
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 218,143 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(218,143) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(218,143) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(218,143) = ( 218 × 143 ) / 1
LCM(218,143) = 31174 / 1
LCM(218,143) = 31174
