So the greatest common factor 17,68,952 is 17.
Lets's calculate LCM of 69,52,144
2 | 69, 52, 144 |
2 | 69, 26, 72 |
3 | 69, 13, 36 |
23, 13, 12 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 23 x 13 x 12 = 43056
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/43056
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 17/69,68/52,952/144 is 17/43056
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 69,52,144 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(69,52,144) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 12
GCF(69,52,144) x common factors =1 x 12 = 12
LCM(69,52,144) = ( 69 × 52 × 144 ) / 12
LCM(69,52,144) = 516672 / 12
LCM(69,52,144) = 43056
