Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 216,348 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 216,348 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 360,377
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 135720
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/135720
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 216/360,348/377 is 12/135720
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 360,377 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(360,377) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(360,377) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(360,377) = ( 360 × 377 ) / 1
LCM(360,377) = 135720 / 1
LCM(360,377) = 135720
