Lets's calculate LCM of 56,20,842
2 | 56, 20, 842 |
2 | 28, 10, 421 |
14, 5, 421 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 14 x 5 x 421 = 117880
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/117880
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 60/56,786/20,873/842 is 3/117880
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 56,20,842 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(56,20,842) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(56,20,842) x common factors =2 x 4 = 8
LCM(56,20,842) = ( 56 × 20 × 842 ) / 8
LCM(56,20,842) = 943040 / 8
LCM(56,20,842) = 117880
