Lets's calculate LCM of 78,29,350
2 | 78, 29, 350 |
39, 29, 175 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 39 x 29 x 175 = 395850
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/395850
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 88/78,798/29,256/350 is 2/395850
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 78,29,350 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(78,29,350) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(78,29,350) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(78,29,350) = ( 78 × 29 × 350 ) / 2
LCM(78,29,350) = 791700 / 2
LCM(78,29,350) = 395850
