So the greatest common factor 42,875,342 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 65,41,798
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2126670
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2126670
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 42/65,875/41,342/798 is 1/2126670
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 65,41,798 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(65,41,798) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(65,41,798) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(65,41,798) = ( 65 × 41 × 798 ) / 1
LCM(65,41,798) = 2126670 / 1
LCM(65,41,798) = 2126670
