So the greatest common factor 52,174,936 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 240,396,142
2 | 240, 396, 142 |
2 | 120, 198, 71 |
3 | 60, 99, 71 |
20, 33, 71 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 20 x 33 x 71 = 562320
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/562320
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 52/240,174/396,936/142 is 2/562320
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 240,396,142 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(240,396,142) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 12
GCF(240,396,142) x common factors =2 x 12 = 24
LCM(240,396,142) = ( 240 × 396 × 142 ) / 24
LCM(240,396,142) = 13495680 / 24
LCM(240,396,142) = 562320
