Lets's calculate LCM of 75,17,125
5 | 75, 17, 125 |
5 | 15, 17, 25 |
3, 17, 5 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 5 x 3 x 17 x 5 = 6375
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/6375
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 97/75,378/17,420/125 is 1/6375
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 75,17,125 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(75,17,125) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 25
GCF(75,17,125) x common factors =1 x 25 = 25
LCM(75,17,125) = ( 75 × 17 × 125 ) / 25
LCM(75,17,125) = 159375 / 25
LCM(75,17,125) = 6375
