So the greatest common factor 33,72,123 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 506,920,940
2 | 506, 920, 940 |
2 | 253, 460, 470 |
5 | 253, 230, 235 |
23 | 253, 46, 47 |
11, 2, 47 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 5 x 23 x 11 x 2 x 47 = 475640
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/475640
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 33/506,72/920,123/940 is 3/475640
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 506,920,940 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(506,920,940) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 460
GCF(506,920,940) x common factors =2 x 460 = 920
LCM(506,920,940) = ( 506 × 920 × 940 ) / 920
LCM(506,920,940) = 437588800 / 920
LCM(506,920,940) = 475640
