Lets's calculate LCM of 465,605,617
5 | 465, 605, 617 |
93, 121, 617 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 93 x 121 x 617 = 34715505
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/34715505
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 42/465,280/605,592/617 is 2/34715505
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 465,605,617 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(465,605,617) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 5
GCF(465,605,617) x common factors =1 x 5 = 5
LCM(465,605,617) = ( 465 × 605 × 617 ) / 5
LCM(465,605,617) = 173577525 / 5
LCM(465,605,617) = 34715505
