So the greatest common factor 541,736,448 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 19,42,742
2 | 19, 42, 742 |
7 | 19, 21, 371 |
19, 3, 53 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 7 x 19 x 3 x 53 = 42294
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/42294
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 541/19,736/42,448/742 is 1/42294
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 19,42,742 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(19,42,742) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 14
GCF(19,42,742) x common factors =1 x 14 = 14
LCM(19,42,742) = ( 19 × 42 × 742 ) / 14
LCM(19,42,742) = 592116 / 14
LCM(19,42,742) = 42294
