So the greatest common factor 27,742,460 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,24,586
2 | 12, 24, 586 |
2 | 6, 12, 293 |
3 | 3, 6, 293 |
1, 2, 293 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 1 x 2 x 293 = 7032
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/7032
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 27/12,742/24,460/586 is 1/7032
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 12,24,586 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,24,586) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 12
GCF(12,24,586) x common factors =2 x 12 = 24
LCM(12,24,586) = ( 12 × 24 × 586 ) / 24
LCM(12,24,586) = 168768 / 24
LCM(12,24,586) = 7032
