So the greatest common factor 307,220 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 78,471
3 | 78, 471 |
26, 157 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 26 x 157 = 12246
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/12246
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 307/78,220/471 is 1/12246
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 78,471 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(78,471) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(78,471) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(78,471) = ( 78 × 471 ) / 3
LCM(78,471) = 36738 / 3
LCM(78,471) = 12246
