So the greatest common factor 40,598,979 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 99,63,239
3 | 99, 63, 239 |
3 | 33, 21, 239 |
11, 7, 239 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 11 x 7 x 239 = 165627
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/165627
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 40/99,598/63,979/239 is 1/165627
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 99,63,239 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(99,63,239) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 9
GCF(99,63,239) x common factors =1 x 9 = 9
LCM(99,63,239) = ( 99 × 63 × 239 ) / 9
LCM(99,63,239) = 1490643 / 9
LCM(99,63,239) = 165627
