So the greatest common factor 48,157,316 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 97,81,762
3 | 97, 81, 762 |
97, 27, 254 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 97 x 27 x 254 = 1995678
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1995678
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 48/97,157/81,316/762 is 1/1995678
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 97,81,762 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(97,81,762) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(97,81,762) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(97,81,762) = ( 97 × 81 × 762 ) / 3
LCM(97,81,762) = 5987034 / 3
LCM(97,81,762) = 1995678
