Lets's calculate LCM of 741,363,235
3 | 741, 363, 235 |
247, 121, 235 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 247 x 121 x 235 = 21070335
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/21070335
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 66/741,74/363,342/235 is 2/21070335
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 741,363,235 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(741,363,235) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(741,363,235) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(741,363,235) = ( 741 × 363 × 235 ) / 3
LCM(741,363,235) = 63211005 / 3
LCM(741,363,235) = 21070335
