So the greatest common factor 202,378 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 434,487
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 211358
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/211358
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 202/434,378/487 is 2/211358
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 434,487 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(434,487) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(434,487) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(434,487) = ( 434 × 487 ) / 1
LCM(434,487) = 211358 / 1
LCM(434,487) = 211358
