So the greatest common factor 12,29,378 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 82,170,277
2 | 82, 170, 277 |
41, 85, 277 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 41 x 85 x 277 = 1930690
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1930690
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 12/82,29/170,378/277 is 1/1930690
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 82,170,277 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(82,170,277) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(82,170,277) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(82,170,277) = ( 82 × 170 × 277 ) / 2
LCM(82,170,277) = 3861380 / 2
LCM(82,170,277) = 1930690
