So the greatest common factor 96,485,221 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,68,943
2 | 40, 68, 943 |
2 | 20, 34, 943 |
10, 17, 943 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 10 x 17 x 943 = 641240
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/641240
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 96/40,485/68,221/943 is 1/641240
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 40,68,943 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,68,943) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(40,68,943) x common factors =1 x 4 = 4
LCM(40,68,943) = ( 40 × 68 × 943 ) / 4
LCM(40,68,943) = 2564960 / 4
LCM(40,68,943) = 641240
