So the greatest common factor 20,96,972 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 23,30,649
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 447810
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/447810
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 20/23,96/30,972/649 is 4/447810
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 23,30,649 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(23,30,649) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(23,30,649) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(23,30,649) = ( 23 × 30 × 649 ) / 1
LCM(23,30,649) = 447810 / 1
LCM(23,30,649) = 447810
