So the greatest common factor 207,468 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 336,143
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 48048
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/48048
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 207/336,468/143 is 9/48048
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 336,143 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(336,143) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(336,143) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(336,143) = ( 336 × 143 ) / 1
LCM(336,143) = 48048 / 1
LCM(336,143) = 48048
