LCM of Denominators means LCM of 71,90,956 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 71,90,956 is 3054420 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 48,47,987
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 48
List of positive integer factors of 48 that divides 48 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16,24,48
Factors of 47
List of positive integer factors of 47 that divides 47 without a remainder.
1,47
Factors of 987
List of positive integer factors of 987 that divides 987 without a remainder.
1,3,7,21,47,141,329,987
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 48,47,987 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 48,47,987 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 71,90,956
2 | 71, 90, 956 |
71, 45, 478 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 71 x 45 x 478 = 3054420
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3054420
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 48/71,47/90,987/956 is 1/3054420
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 71,90,956 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(71,90,956) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(71,90,956) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(71,90,956) = ( 71 × 90 × 956 ) / 2
LCM(71,90,956) = 6108840 / 2
LCM(71,90,956) = 3054420
