So the greatest common factor 267,240 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 157,324
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 50868
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/50868
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 267/157,240/324 is 3/50868
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 157,324 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(157,324) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(157,324) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(157,324) = ( 157 × 324 ) / 1
LCM(157,324) = 50868 / 1
LCM(157,324) = 50868
