So the greatest common factor 123,270 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 687,524
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 359988
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/359988
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 123/687,270/524 is 3/359988
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 687,524 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(687,524) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(687,524) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(687,524) = ( 687 × 524 ) / 1
LCM(687,524) = 359988 / 1
LCM(687,524) = 359988
