Lets's calculate LCM of 79,49,974
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3770354
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3770354
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 32/79,318/49,702/974 is 2/3770354
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 79,49,974 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(79,49,974) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(79,49,974) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(79,49,974) = ( 79 × 49 × 974 ) / 1
LCM(79,49,974) = 3770354 / 1
LCM(79,49,974) = 3770354
