So the greatest common factor 6,30,12 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 63,135,888
3 | 63, 135, 888 |
3 | 21, 45, 296 |
7, 15, 296 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 7 x 15 x 296 = 279720
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/279720
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6/63,30/135,12/888 is 6/279720
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 63,135,888 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(63,135,888) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 9
GCF(63,135,888) x common factors =3 x 9 = 27
LCM(63,135,888) = ( 63 × 135 × 888 ) / 27
LCM(63,135,888) = 7552440 / 27
LCM(63,135,888) = 279720
