Lets's calculate LCM of 326,384,265
2 | 326, 384, 265 |
163, 192, 265 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 163 x 192 x 265 = 16586880
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/16586880
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 42/326,716/384,580/265 is 2/16586880
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 326,384,265 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(326,384,265) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(326,384,265) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(326,384,265) = ( 326 × 384 × 265 ) / 2
LCM(326,384,265) = 33173760 / 2
LCM(326,384,265) = 16586880
