Lets's calculate LCM of 424,786,735
2 | 424, 786, 735 |
3 | 212, 393, 735 |
212, 131, 245 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 212 x 131 x 245 = 40824840
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/40824840
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 662/424,278/786,214/735 is 2/40824840
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 424,786,735 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(424,786,735) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(424,786,735) x common factors =1 x 6 = 6
LCM(424,786,735) = ( 424 × 786 × 735 ) / 6
LCM(424,786,735) = 244949040 / 6
LCM(424,786,735) = 40824840
