So the greatest common factor 545,640 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 68,286
2 | 68, 286 |
34, 143 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 34 x 143 = 9724
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/9724
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 545/68,640/286 is 5/9724
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 68,286 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(68,286) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(68,286) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(68,286) = ( 68 × 286 ) / 2
LCM(68,286) = 19448 / 2
LCM(68,286) = 9724
