So the greatest common factor 34,42,470 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 245,182,445
5 | 245, 182, 445 |
7 | 49, 182, 89 |
7, 26, 89 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 7 x 7 x 26 x 89 = 566930
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/566930
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 34/245,42/182,470/445 is 2/566930
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 245,182,445 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(245,182,445) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 35
GCF(245,182,445) x common factors =1 x 35 = 35
LCM(245,182,445) = ( 245 × 182 × 445 ) / 35
LCM(245,182,445) = 19842550 / 35
LCM(245,182,445) = 566930
