So the greatest common factor 42,419,669 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 74,98,928
2 | 74, 98, 928 |
37, 49, 464 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 37 x 49 x 464 = 1682464
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1682464
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 42/74,419/98,669/928 is 1/1682464
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 74,98,928 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(74,98,928) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(74,98,928) x common factors =2 x 2 = 4
LCM(74,98,928) = ( 74 × 98 × 928 ) / 4
LCM(74,98,928) = 6729856 / 4
LCM(74,98,928) = 1682464
