We found the factors 4640,5232 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4640,5232 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 343,363
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 124509
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/124509
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4640/343,5232/363 is 16/124509
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 343,363 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(343,363) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(343,363) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(343,363) = ( 343 × 363 ) / 1
LCM(343,363) = 124509 / 1
LCM(343,363) = 124509
