Lets's calculate LCM of 28,246,511
2 | 28, 246, 511 |
7 | 14, 123, 511 |
2, 123, 73 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 7 x 2 x 123 x 73 = 251412
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/251412
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 75/28,12/246,885/511 is 3/251412
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 28,246,511 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(28,246,511) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 14
GCF(28,246,511) x common factors =1 x 14 = 14
LCM(28,246,511) = ( 28 × 246 × 511 ) / 14
LCM(28,246,511) = 3519768 / 14
LCM(28,246,511) = 251412
