23, 52 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 5 = 15
Now, list down the factors of 345
:1,3,5,15,23,69,115,345
Now, list down the factors of 780
:1,2,3,4,5,6,10,12,13,15,20,26,30,39,52,60,65,78,130,156,195,260,390,780
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 345,780 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 345,780 is 15.
Lets's calculate LCM of 68,946
2 | 68, 946 |
34, 473 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 34 x 473 = 32164
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 15/32164
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 345/68,780/946 is 15/32164
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 68,946 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(68,946) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(68,946) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(68,946) = ( 68 × 946 ) / 2
LCM(68,946) = 64328 / 2
LCM(68,946) = 32164
