Lets's calculate LCM of 635,779,315
5 | 635, 779, 315 |
127, 779, 63 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 127 x 779 x 63 = 31163895
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/31163895
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 21/635,17/779,998/315 is 1/31163895
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 635,779,315 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(635,779,315) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 5
GCF(635,779,315) x common factors =1 x 5 = 5
LCM(635,779,315) = ( 635 × 779 × 315 ) / 5
LCM(635,779,315) = 155819475 / 5
LCM(635,779,315) = 31163895
