So the greatest common factor 189,3336 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 440,379
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 166760
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/166760
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 189/440,3336/379 is 3/166760
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 440,379 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(440,379) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(440,379) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(440,379) = ( 440 × 379 ) / 1
LCM(440,379) = 166760 / 1
LCM(440,379) = 166760
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
