So the greatest common factor 41,42,170 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 814,987,212
2 | 814, 987, 212 |
407, 987, 106 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 407 x 987 x 106 = 85162308
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/85162308
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 41/814,42/987,170/212 is 1/85162308
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 814,987,212 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(814,987,212) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(814,987,212) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(814,987,212) = ( 814 × 987 × 212 ) / 2
LCM(814,987,212) = 170324616 / 2
LCM(814,987,212) = 85162308
