So the greatest common factor 21,38,440 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 342,114,155
2 | 342, 114, 155 |
3 | 171, 57, 155 |
19 | 19, 57, 155 |
1, 3, 155 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 19 x 1 x 3 x 155 = 53010
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/53010
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 21/342,38/114,440/155 is 1/53010
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 342,114,155 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(342,114,155) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 114
GCF(342,114,155) x common factors =1 x 114 = 114
LCM(342,114,155) = ( 342 × 114 × 155 ) / 114
LCM(342,114,155) = 6043140 / 114
LCM(342,114,155) = 53010
