We found the factors 624,372 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 624,372 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 856,147
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 125832
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/125832
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 624/856,372/147 is 12/125832
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 856,147 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(856,147) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(856,147) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(856,147) = ( 856 × 147 ) / 1
LCM(856,147) = 125832 / 1
LCM(856,147) = 125832
