Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4200,3408 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4200,3408 is 24.
Lets's calculate LCM of 344,229
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 78776
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 24/78776
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4200/344,3408/229 is 24/78776
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 344,229 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(344,229) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(344,229) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(344,229) = ( 344 × 229 ) / 1
LCM(344,229) = 78776 / 1
LCM(344,229) = 78776
