Lets's calculate LCM of 352,144

2 352, 144
2 176, 72
2 88, 36
2 44, 18
22, 9

∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 22 x 9 = 3168

Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3168

Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 40/352,187/144 is 1/3168

Least Common Multiple of 352,144 with GCF Formula

Least Common Multiple of 352,144 with GCF Formula

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 352,144 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(352,144) = 16

common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1

GCF(352,144) x common factors =16 x 1 = 16

LCM(352,144) = ( 352 × 144 ) / 16

LCM(352,144) = 50688 / 16

LCM(352,144) = 3168
