So the greatest common factor 656,534,592 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 85,20,542
2 | 85, 20, 542 |
5 | 85, 10, 271 |
17, 2, 271 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 17 x 2 x 271 = 92140
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/92140
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 656/85,534/20,592/542 is 2/92140
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 85,20,542 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(85,20,542) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 10
GCF(85,20,542) x common factors =1 x 10 = 10
LCM(85,20,542) = ( 85 × 20 × 542 ) / 10
LCM(85,20,542) = 921400 / 10
LCM(85,20,542) = 92140
