So the greatest common factor 51,387,640 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,84,686
2 | 42, 84, 686 |
3 | 21, 42, 343 |
7 | 7, 14, 343 |
1, 2, 49 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 7 x 1 x 2 x 49 = 4116
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4116
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 51/42,387/84,640/686 is 1/4116
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 42,84,686 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,84,686) = 14
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 42
GCF(42,84,686) x common factors =14 x 42 = 588
LCM(42,84,686) = ( 42 × 84 × 686 ) / 588
LCM(42,84,686) = 2420208 / 588
LCM(42,84,686) = 4116
