Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3312,9072 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3312,9072 is 144.
Lets's calculate LCM of 820,439
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 359980
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 144/359980
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3312/820,9072/439 is 144/359980
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 820,439 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(820,439) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(820,439) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(820,439) = ( 820 × 439 ) / 1
LCM(820,439) = 359980 / 1
LCM(820,439) = 359980
