Lets's calculate LCM of 699,131,846
3 | 699, 131, 846 |
233, 131, 282 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 233 x 131 x 282 = 25822458
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/25822458
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 78/699,47/131,238/846 is 1/25822458
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 699,131,846 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(699,131,846) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(699,131,846) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(699,131,846) = ( 699 × 131 × 846 ) / 3
LCM(699,131,846) = 77467374 / 3
LCM(699,131,846) = 25822458
