So the greatest common factor 98,486,100 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,75,588
2 | 42, 75, 588 |
3 | 21, 75, 294 |
7 | 7, 25, 98 |
1, 25, 14 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 7 x 1 x 25 x 14 = 14700
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/14700
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 98/42,486/75,100/588 is 2/14700
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 42,75,588 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,75,588) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 42
GCF(42,75,588) x common factors =3 x 42 = 126
LCM(42,75,588) = ( 42 × 75 × 588 ) / 126
LCM(42,75,588) = 1852200 / 126
LCM(42,75,588) = 14700
