So the greatest common factor 69,78 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 473,3268
43 | 473, 3268 |
11, 76 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 43 x 11 x 76 = 35948
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/35948
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 69/473,78/3268 is 3/35948
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 473,3268 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(473,3268) = 43
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(473,3268) x common factors =43 x 1 = 43
LCM(473,3268) = ( 473 × 3268 ) / 43
LCM(473,3268) = 1545764 / 43
LCM(473,3268) = 35948
