So the greatest common factor 327,648 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 309,979
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 302511
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/302511
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 327/309,648/979 is 3/302511
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 309,979 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(309,979) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(309,979) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(309,979) = ( 309 × 979 ) / 1
LCM(309,979) = 302511 / 1
LCM(309,979) = 302511
