So the greatest common factor 12,542,640 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 63,48,929
3 | 63, 48, 929 |
21, 16, 929 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 21 x 16 x 929 = 936432
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/936432
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 12/63,542/48,640/929 is 2/936432
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 63,48,929 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(63,48,929) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(63,48,929) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(63,48,929) = ( 63 × 48 × 929 ) / 3
LCM(63,48,929) = 2809296 / 3
LCM(63,48,929) = 936432
