So the greatest common factor 512,8802 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 394,311
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 122534
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/122534
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 512/394,8802/311 is 2/122534
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 394,311 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(394,311) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(394,311) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(394,311) = ( 394 × 311 ) / 1
LCM(394,311) = 122534 / 1
LCM(394,311) = 122534
