Lets's calculate LCM of 78,420
2 | 78, 420 |
3 | 39, 210 |
13, 70 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 13 x 70 = 5460
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5460
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 348/78,679/420 is 1/5460
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 78,420 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(78,420) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(78,420) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(78,420) = ( 78 × 420 ) / 6
LCM(78,420) = 32760 / 6
LCM(78,420) = 5460
