So the greatest common factor 84,12,804 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 515,252,840
2 | 515, 252, 840 |
2 | 515, 126, 420 |
3 | 515, 63, 210 |
5 | 515, 21, 70 |
7 | 103, 21, 14 |
103, 3, 2 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 7 x 103 x 3 x 2 = 259560
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/259560
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 84/515,12/252,804/840 is 12/259560
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 515,252,840 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(515,252,840) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 420
GCF(515,252,840) x common factors =1 x 420 = 420
LCM(515,252,840) = ( 515 × 252 × 840 ) / 420
LCM(515,252,840) = 109015200 / 420
LCM(515,252,840) = 259560
