Lets's calculate LCM of 875,965,267
5 | 875, 965, 267 |
175, 193, 267 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 175 x 193 x 267 = 45089625
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/45089625
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 42/875,228/965,930/267 is 6/45089625
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 875,965,267 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(875,965,267) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 5
GCF(875,965,267) x common factors =1 x 5 = 5
LCM(875,965,267) = ( 875 × 965 × 267 ) / 5
LCM(875,965,267) = 225448125 / 5
LCM(875,965,267) = 45089625
