Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 348,156 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 348,156 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 283,652
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 184516
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/184516
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 348/283,156/652 is 12/184516
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 283,652 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(283,652) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(283,652) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(283,652) = ( 283 × 652 ) / 1
LCM(283,652) = 184516 / 1
LCM(283,652) = 184516
