Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 39,12,744 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 39,12,744 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,242,950
2 | 42, 242, 950 |
21, 121, 475 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 21 x 121 x 475 = 2413950
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/2413950
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 39/42,12/242,744/950 is 3/2413950
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 42,242,950 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,242,950) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(42,242,950) x common factors =2 x 2 = 4
LCM(42,242,950) = ( 42 × 242 × 950 ) / 4
LCM(42,242,950) = 9655800 / 4
LCM(42,242,950) = 2413950
