So the greatest common factor 662,588 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 432,337
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 145584
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/145584
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 662/432,588/337 is 2/145584
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 432,337 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(432,337) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(432,337) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(432,337) = ( 432 × 337 ) / 1
LCM(432,337) = 145584 / 1
LCM(432,337) = 145584
