So the greatest common factor 429,456 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 221,643
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 142103
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/142103
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 429/221,456/643 is 3/142103
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 221,643 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(221,643) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(221,643) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(221,643) = ( 221 × 643 ) / 1
LCM(221,643) = 142103 / 1
LCM(221,643) = 142103
