Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 336,288 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 336,288 is 48.
Lets's calculate LCM of 44,943
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 41492
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 48/41492
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 336/44,288/943 is 48/41492
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 44,943 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(44,943) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(44,943) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(44,943) = ( 44 × 943 ) / 1
LCM(44,943) = 41492 / 1
LCM(44,943) = 41492
