So the greatest common factor 38,138,222 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 69,12,973
3 | 69, 12, 973 |
23, 4, 973 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 23 x 4 x 973 = 268548
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/268548
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 38/69,138/12,222/973 is 2/268548
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 69,12,973 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(69,12,973) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(69,12,973) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(69,12,973) = ( 69 × 12 × 973 ) / 3
LCM(69,12,973) = 805644 / 3
LCM(69,12,973) = 268548
