Lets's calculate LCM of 875,684,342
2 | 875, 684, 342 |
3 | 875, 342, 171 |
3 | 875, 114, 57 |
19 | 875, 38, 19 |
875, 2, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 19 x 875 x 2 x 1 = 598500
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/598500
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 86/875,38/684,492/342 is 2/598500
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 875,684,342 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(875,684,342) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 342
GCF(875,684,342) x common factors =1 x 342 = 342
LCM(875,684,342) = ( 875 × 684 × 342 ) / 342
LCM(875,684,342) = 204687000 / 342
LCM(875,684,342) = 598500
