So the greatest common factor 312,616 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 323,687
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 221901
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/221901
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 312/323,616/687 is 8/221901
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 323,687 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(323,687) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(323,687) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(323,687) = ( 323 × 687 ) / 1
LCM(323,687) = 221901 / 1
LCM(323,687) = 221901
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
