Lets's calculate LCM of 206,104,709
2 | 206, 104, 709 |
103, 52, 709 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 103 x 52 x 709 = 7594808
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/7594808
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 534/206,176/104,242/709 is 2/7594808
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 206,104,709 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(206,104,709) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(206,104,709) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(206,104,709) = ( 206 × 104 × 709 ) / 2
LCM(206,104,709) = 15189616 / 2
LCM(206,104,709) = 7594808
