Lets's calculate LCM of 41,87,978
3 | 41, 87, 978 |
41, 29, 326 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 41 x 29 x 326 = 1162842
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1162842
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 41/41,684/87,501/978 is 1/1162842
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 41,87,978 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(41,87,978) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(41,87,978) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(41,87,978) = ( 41 × 87 × 978 ) / 3
LCM(41,87,978) = 3488526 / 3
LCM(41,87,978) = 1162842
