1,3,1103,3309
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 468,3309 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 468,3309 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 79,727
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 57433
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/57433
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 468/79,3309/727 is 3/57433
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 79,727 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(79,727) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(79,727) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(79,727) = ( 79 × 727 ) / 1
LCM(79,727) = 57433 / 1
LCM(79,727) = 57433
