We found the factors 432,352 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 432,352 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 608,323
19 | 608, 323 |
32, 17 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 19 x 32 x 17 = 10336
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/10336
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 432/608,352/323 is 16/10336
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 608,323 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(608,323) = 19
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(608,323) x common factors =19 x 1 = 19
LCM(608,323) = ( 608 × 323 ) / 19
LCM(608,323) = 196384 / 19
LCM(608,323) = 10336
