So the greatest common factor 845,1352 is 169.
Lets's calculate LCM of 855,429
3 | 855, 429 |
285, 143 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 285 x 143 = 122265
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 169/122265
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 845/855,1352/429 is 169/122265
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 855,429 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(855,429) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(855,429) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(855,429) = ( 855 × 429 ) / 3
LCM(855,429) = 366795 / 3
LCM(855,429) = 122265
