Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 165,450 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 165,450 is 15.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,9443
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 377720
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 15/377720
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 165/40,450/9443 is 15/377720
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 40,9443 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,9443) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,9443) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(40,9443) = ( 40 × 9443 ) / 1
LCM(40,9443) = 377720 / 1
LCM(40,9443) = 377720
