In the given fractions GCF of Numerators means GCF of 40,21,797
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 40,21,797 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 857,347,834 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 857,347,834 is 248014086 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 40,21,797
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 40
List of positive integer factors of 40 that divides 40 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,8,10,20,40
Factors of 21
List of positive integer factors of 21 that divides 21 without a remainder.
1,3,7,21
Factors of 797
List of positive integer factors of 797 that divides 797 without a remainder.
1,797
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 40,21,797 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 40,21,797 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 857,347,834
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 248014086
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/248014086
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 40/857,21/347,797/834 is 1/248014086
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 857,347,834 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(857,347,834) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(857,347,834) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(857,347,834) = ( 857 × 347 × 834 ) / 1
LCM(857,347,834) = 248014086 / 1
LCM(857,347,834) = 248014086
