So the greatest common factor 399,999 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 376,427
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 160552
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/160552
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 399/376,999/427 is 3/160552
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 376,427 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(376,427) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(376,427) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(376,427) = ( 376 × 427 ) / 1
LCM(376,427) = 160552 / 1
LCM(376,427) = 160552
