So the greatest common factor 72,722,122 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 82,69,372
2 | 82, 69, 372 |
3 | 41, 69, 186 |
41, 23, 62 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 41 x 23 x 62 = 350796
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/350796
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 72/82,722/69,122/372 is 2/350796
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 82,69,372 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(82,69,372) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(82,69,372) x common factors =1 x 6 = 6
LCM(82,69,372) = ( 82 × 69 × 372 ) / 6
LCM(82,69,372) = 2104776 / 6
LCM(82,69,372) = 350796
