Lets's calculate LCM of 77,92,529
23 | 77, 92, 529 |
77, 4, 23 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 23 x 77 x 4 x 23 = 162932
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/162932
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 45/77,45/92,972/529 is 9/162932
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 77,92,529 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(77,92,529) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 23
GCF(77,92,529) x common factors =1 x 23 = 23
LCM(77,92,529) = ( 77 × 92 × 529 ) / 23
LCM(77,92,529) = 3747436 / 23
LCM(77,92,529) = 162932
