So the greatest common factor 480,663 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 193,872
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 168296
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/168296
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 480/193,663/872 is 3/168296
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 193,872 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(193,872) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(193,872) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(193,872) = ( 193 × 872 ) / 1
LCM(193,872) = 168296 / 1
LCM(193,872) = 168296
