So the greatest common factor 17,696,261 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 65,56,442
2 | 65, 56, 442 |
13 | 65, 28, 221 |
5, 28, 17 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 13 x 5 x 28 x 17 = 61880
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/61880
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 17/65,696/56,261/442 is 1/61880
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 65,56,442 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(65,56,442) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 26
GCF(65,56,442) x common factors =1 x 26 = 26
LCM(65,56,442) = ( 65 × 56 × 442 ) / 26
LCM(65,56,442) = 1608880 / 26
LCM(65,56,442) = 61880
