Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3999,3159 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3999,3159 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 43,573
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 24639
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/24639
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3999/43,3159/573 is 3/24639
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 43,573 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(43,573) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(43,573) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(43,573) = ( 43 × 573 ) / 1
LCM(43,573) = 24639 / 1
LCM(43,573) = 24639
