So the greatest common factor 108,740 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 429,648
| 3 | 429, 648 |
| 143, 216 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 143 x 216 = 92664
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/92664
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 108/429,740/648 is 4/92664
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 429,648 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(429,648) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(429,648) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(429,648) = ( 429 × 648 ) / 3
LCM(429,648) = 277992 / 3
LCM(429,648) = 92664
