Lets's calculate LCM of 741,525,455
3 | 741, 525, 455 |
5 | 247, 175, 455 |
7 | 247, 35, 91 |
13 | 247, 5, 13 |
19, 5, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 5 x 7 x 13 x 19 x 5 x 1 = 129675
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/129675
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 28/741,987/525,238/455 is 7/129675
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 741,525,455 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(741,525,455) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1365
GCF(741,525,455) x common factors =1 x 1365 = 1365
LCM(741,525,455) = ( 741 × 525 × 455 ) / 1365
LCM(741,525,455) = 177006375 / 1365
LCM(741,525,455) = 129675
