So the greatest common factor 42,14,150 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 764,351,771
3 | 764, 351, 771 |
764, 117, 257 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 764 x 117 x 257 = 68918148
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/68918148
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 42/764,14/351,150/771 is 2/68918148
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 764,351,771 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(764,351,771) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(764,351,771) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(764,351,771) = ( 764 × 351 × 771 ) / 3
LCM(764,351,771) = 206754444 / 3
LCM(764,351,771) = 68918148
