Lets's calculate LCM of 52,18,406
2 | 52, 18, 406 |
26, 9, 203 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 26 x 9 x 203 = 95004
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/95004
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 56/52,996/18,288/406 is 4/95004
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 52,18,406 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(52,18,406) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(52,18,406) x common factors =2 x 2 = 4
LCM(52,18,406) = ( 52 × 18 × 406 ) / 4
LCM(52,18,406) = 380016 / 4
LCM(52,18,406) = 95004
