So the greatest common factor 21,426,389 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 45,23,372
3 | 45, 23, 372 |
15, 23, 124 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 15 x 23 x 124 = 128340
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/128340
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 21/45,426/23,389/372 is 1/128340
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 45,23,372 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(45,23,372) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(45,23,372) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(45,23,372) = ( 45 × 23 × 372 ) / 3
LCM(45,23,372) = 385020 / 3
LCM(45,23,372) = 128340
