Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 414,279 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 414,279 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 852,167
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 142284
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/142284
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 414/852,279/167 is 9/142284
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 852,167 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(852,167) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(852,167) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(852,167) = ( 852 × 167 ) / 1
LCM(852,167) = 142284 / 1
LCM(852,167) = 142284
