Lets's calculate LCM of 52,41,840
2 | 52, 41, 840 |
2 | 26, 41, 420 |
13, 41, 210 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 13 x 41 x 210 = 447720
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/447720
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 32/52,492/41,240/840 is 4/447720
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 52,41,840 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(52,41,840) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(52,41,840) x common factors =1 x 4 = 4
LCM(52,41,840) = ( 52 × 41 × 840 ) / 4
LCM(52,41,840) = 1790880 / 4
LCM(52,41,840) = 447720
