So the greatest common factor 29,282,406 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,24,989
2 | 42, 24, 989 |
3 | 21, 12, 989 |
7, 4, 989 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 7 x 4 x 989 = 166152
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/166152
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 29/42,282/24,406/989 is 1/166152
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 42,24,989 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,24,989) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(42,24,989) x common factors =1 x 6 = 6
LCM(42,24,989) = ( 42 × 24 × 989 ) / 6
LCM(42,24,989) = 996912 / 6
LCM(42,24,989) = 166152
