So the greatest common factor 332,432 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 624,477
3 | 624, 477 |
208, 159 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 208 x 159 = 99216
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/99216
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 332/624,432/477 is 4/99216
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 624,477 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(624,477) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(624,477) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(624,477) = ( 624 × 477 ) / 3
LCM(624,477) = 297648 / 3
LCM(624,477) = 99216
