Lets's calculate LCM of 27,78,36,768
| 2 | 27, 78, 36, 768 |
| 2 | 27, 39, 18, 384 |
| 3 | 27, 39, 9, 192 |
| 3 | 3, 13, 9, 64 |
| 1, 13, 3, 64 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 1 x 13 x 3 x 64 = 89856
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/89856

Least Common Multiple of 27,78,36,768 with GCF Formula
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 27,78,36,768 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(27,78,36,768) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 216
GCF(27,78,36,768) x common factors =3 x 216 = 648
LCM(27,78,36,768) = ( 27 × 78 × 36 × 768 ) / 648
LCM(27,78,36,768) = 58226688 / 648
LCM(27,78,36,768) = 89856
