Lets's calculate LCM of 328,829
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 271912
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/271912
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 879/328,948/829 is 3/271912
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 328,829 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(328,829) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(328,829) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(328,829) = ( 328 × 829 ) / 1
LCM(328,829) = 271912 / 1
LCM(328,829) = 271912
