So the greatest common factor 57,86,428 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 74,46,96
2 | 74, 46, 96 |
37, 23, 48 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 37 x 23 x 48 = 81696
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/81696
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 57/74,86/46,428/96 is 1/81696
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 74,46,96 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(74,46,96) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(74,46,96) x common factors =2 x 2 = 4
LCM(74,46,96) = ( 74 × 46 × 96 ) / 4
LCM(74,46,96) = 326784 / 4
LCM(74,46,96) = 81696
