So the greatest common factor 697,480 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 861,372
3 | 861, 372 |
287, 124 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 287 x 124 = 106764
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/106764
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 697/861,480/372 is 1/106764
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 861,372 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(861,372) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(861,372) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(861,372) = ( 861 × 372 ) / 3
LCM(861,372) = 320292 / 3
LCM(861,372) = 106764
