:1,3,167,501
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 336,501 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 336,501 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 79,444
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 35076
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/35076
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 336/79,501/444 is 3/35076
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 79,444 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(79,444) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(79,444) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(79,444) = ( 79 × 444 ) / 1
LCM(79,444) = 35076 / 1
LCM(79,444) = 35076
