:1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24,41,82,123,164,246,328,492,984
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 417,984 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 417,984 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 420,341
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 143220
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/143220
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 417/420,984/341 is 3/143220
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 420,341 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(420,341) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(420,341) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(420,341) = ( 420 × 341 ) / 1
LCM(420,341) = 143220 / 1
LCM(420,341) = 143220
