Lets's calculate LCM of 65,4278
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 278070
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/278070
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 270/65,596/4278 is 2/278070
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 65,4278 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(65,4278) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(65,4278) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(65,4278) = ( 65 × 4278 ) / 1
LCM(65,4278) = 278070 / 1
LCM(65,4278) = 278070
