So the greatest common factor 52,109,522 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 26,42,254
2 | 26, 42, 254 |
13, 21, 127 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 13 x 21 x 127 = 69342
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/69342
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 52/26,109/42,522/254 is 1/69342
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 26,42,254 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(26,42,254) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(26,42,254) x common factors =2 x 2 = 4
LCM(26,42,254) = ( 26 × 42 × 254 ) / 4
LCM(26,42,254) = 277368 / 4
LCM(26,42,254) = 69342
