So the greatest common factor 144,915 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 387,599
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 231813
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/231813
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 144/387,915/599 is 3/231813
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 387,599 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(387,599) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(387,599) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(387,599) = ( 387 × 599 ) / 1
LCM(387,599) = 231813 / 1
LCM(387,599) = 231813
