So the greatest common factor 78,15,114 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 972,641,810
2 | 972, 641, 810 |
3 | 486, 641, 405 |
3 | 162, 641, 135 |
3 | 54, 641, 45 |
3 | 18, 641, 15 |
6, 641, 5 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 6 x 641 x 5 = 3115260
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/3115260
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 78/972,15/641,114/810 is 3/3115260
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 972,641,810 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(972,641,810) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 162
GCF(972,641,810) x common factors =1 x 162 = 162
LCM(972,641,810) = ( 972 × 641 × 810 ) / 162
LCM(972,641,810) = 504672120 / 162
LCM(972,641,810) = 3115260
