Lets's calculate LCM of 696,420
2 | 696, 420 |
2 | 348, 210 |
3 | 174, 105 |
58, 35 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 58 x 35 = 24360
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/24360
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6487/696,2976/420 is 1/24360
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 696,420 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(696,420) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(696,420) x common factors =12 x 1 = 12
LCM(696,420) = ( 696 × 420 ) / 12
LCM(696,420) = 292320 / 12
LCM(696,420) = 24360
