So the greatest common factor 66,14,994 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 140,528,858
2 | 140, 528, 858 |
2 | 70, 264, 429 |
3 | 35, 132, 429 |
11 | 35, 44, 143 |
35, 4, 13 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 11 x 35 x 4 x 13 = 240240
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/240240
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 66/140,14/528,994/858 is 2/240240
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 140,528,858 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(140,528,858) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 132
GCF(140,528,858) x common factors =2 x 132 = 264
LCM(140,528,858) = ( 140 × 528 × 858 ) / 264
LCM(140,528,858) = 63423360 / 264
LCM(140,528,858) = 240240
