Lets's calculate LCM of 384,300,384
2 | 384, 300, 384 |
2 | 192, 150, 192 |
2 | 96, 75, 96 |
2 | 48, 75, 48 |
2 | 24, 75, 24 |
2 | 12, 75, 12 |
2 | 6, 75, 6 |
3 | 3, 75, 3 |
1, 25, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 1 x 25 x 1 = 9600
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/9600
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 637/384,546/300,506/384 is 1/9600
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 384,300,384 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(384,300,384) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 384
GCF(384,300,384) x common factors =12 x 384 = 4608
LCM(384,300,384) = ( 384 × 300 × 384 ) / 4608
LCM(384,300,384) = 44236800 / 4608
LCM(384,300,384) = 9600
