We found the factors 8661,1434 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8661,1434 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 415,343
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 142345
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/142345
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8661/415,1434/343 is 3/142345
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 415,343 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(415,343) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(415,343) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(415,343) = ( 415 × 343 ) / 1
LCM(415,343) = 142345 / 1
LCM(415,343) = 142345
