Lets's calculate LCM of 168,429
3 | 168, 429 |
56, 143 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 56 x 143 = 24024
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/24024
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 803/168,572/429 is 11/24024
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 168,429 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(168,429) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(168,429) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(168,429) = ( 168 × 429 ) / 3
LCM(168,429) = 72072 / 3
LCM(168,429) = 24024
