So the greatest common factor 462,4665 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 162,432
2 | 162, 432 |
3 | 81, 216 |
3 | 27, 72 |
3 | 9, 24 |
3, 8 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 8 = 1296
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1296
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 462/162,4665/432 is 3/1296
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 162,432 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(162,432) = 54
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(162,432) x common factors =54 x 1 = 54
LCM(162,432) = ( 162 × 432 ) / 54
LCM(162,432) = 69984 / 54
LCM(162,432) = 1296
