So the greatest common factor 163,976 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 345,372
3 | 345, 372 |
115, 124 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 115 x 124 = 42780
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/42780
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 163/345,976/372 is 1/42780
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 345,372 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(345,372) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(345,372) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(345,372) = ( 345 × 372 ) / 3
LCM(345,372) = 128340 / 3
LCM(345,372) = 42780
