Lets's calculate LCM of 39,99,152
3 | 39, 99, 152 |
13, 33, 152 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 13 x 33 x 152 = 195624
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/195624
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 51/39,131/99,242/152 is 1/195624
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 39,99,152 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(39,99,152) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(39,99,152) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(39,99,152) = ( 39 × 99 × 152 ) / 3
LCM(39,99,152) = 586872 / 3
LCM(39,99,152) = 195624
