So the greatest common factor 440,984 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 315,943
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 297045
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/297045
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 440/315,984/943 is 8/297045
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 315,943 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(315,943) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(315,943) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(315,943) = ( 315 × 943 ) / 1
LCM(315,943) = 297045 / 1
LCM(315,943) = 297045
