So the greatest common factor 39,552,879 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 48,52,594
2 | 48, 52, 594 |
2 | 24, 26, 297 |
3 | 12, 13, 297 |
4, 13, 99 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 13 x 99 = 61776
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/61776
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 39/48,552/52,879/594 is 3/61776
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 48,52,594 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(48,52,594) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 12
GCF(48,52,594) x common factors =2 x 12 = 24
LCM(48,52,594) = ( 48 × 52 × 594 ) / 24
LCM(48,52,594) = 1482624 / 24
LCM(48,52,594) = 61776
