Lets's calculate LCM of 78,357
3 | 78, 357 |
26, 119 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 26 x 119 = 9282
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/9282
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 124/78,782/357 is 2/9282
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 78,357 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(78,357) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(78,357) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(78,357) = ( 78 × 357 ) / 3
LCM(78,357) = 27846 / 3
LCM(78,357) = 9282
