So the greatest common factor 83,978,179 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 95,48,724
2 | 95, 48, 724 |
2 | 95, 24, 362 |
95, 12, 181 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 95 x 12 x 181 = 825360
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/825360
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 83/95,978/48,179/724 is 1/825360
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 95,48,724 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(95,48,724) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(95,48,724) x common factors =1 x 4 = 4
LCM(95,48,724) = ( 95 × 48 × 724 ) / 4
LCM(95,48,724) = 3301440 / 4
LCM(95,48,724) = 825360
