So the greatest common factor 159,414 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 433,572
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 247676
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/247676
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 159/433,414/572 is 3/247676
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 433,572 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(433,572) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(433,572) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(433,572) = ( 433 × 572 ) / 1
LCM(433,572) = 247676 / 1
LCM(433,572) = 247676
