So the greatest common factor 42,568,494 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 63,53,329
7 | 63, 53, 329 |
9, 53, 47 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 9 x 53 x 47 = 156933
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/156933
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 42/63,568/53,494/329 is 2/156933
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 63,53,329 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(63,53,329) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 7
GCF(63,53,329) x common factors =1 x 7 = 7
LCM(63,53,329) = ( 63 × 53 × 329 ) / 7
LCM(63,53,329) = 1098531 / 7
LCM(63,53,329) = 156933
