We found the factors 39,23,231 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 39,23,231 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 642,138,534
2 | 642, 138, 534 |
3 | 321, 69, 267 |
107, 23, 89 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 107 x 23 x 89 = 1314174
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1314174
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 39/642,23/138,231/534 is 1/1314174
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 642,138,534 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(642,138,534) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(642,138,534) x common factors =6 x 6 = 36
LCM(642,138,534) = ( 642 × 138 × 534 ) / 36
LCM(642,138,534) = 47310264 / 36
LCM(642,138,534) = 1314174
