So the greatest common factor 68,40,494 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 905,123,975
3 | 905, 123, 975 |
5 | 905, 41, 325 |
181, 41, 65 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 5 x 181 x 41 x 65 = 7235475
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/7235475
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 68/905,40/123,494/975 is 2/7235475
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 905,123,975 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(905,123,975) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 15
GCF(905,123,975) x common factors =1 x 15 = 15
LCM(905,123,975) = ( 905 × 123 × 975 ) / 15
LCM(905,123,975) = 108532125 / 15
LCM(905,123,975) = 7235475
