Lets's calculate LCM of 81,84,42
2 | 81, 84, 42 |
3 | 81, 42, 21 |
7 | 27, 14, 7 |
27, 2, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 7 x 27 x 2 x 1 = 2268
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2268
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 630/81,516/84,872/42 is 2/2268
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 81,84,42 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(81,84,42) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 42
GCF(81,84,42) x common factors =3 x 42 = 126
LCM(81,84,42) = ( 81 × 84 × 42 ) / 126
LCM(81,84,42) = 285768 / 126
LCM(81,84,42) = 2268
