So the greatest common factor 60,21,255 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 372,209,885
3 | 372, 209, 885 |
124, 209, 295 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 124 x 209 x 295 = 22935660
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/22935660
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 60/372,21/209,255/885 is 3/22935660
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 372,209,885 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(372,209,885) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(372,209,885) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(372,209,885) = ( 372 × 209 × 885 ) / 3
LCM(372,209,885) = 68806980 / 3
LCM(372,209,885) = 22935660
