Lets's calculate LCM of 16,49,546
2 | 16, 49, 546 |
7 | 8, 49, 273 |
8, 7, 39 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 7 x 8 x 7 x 39 = 30576
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/30576
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 676/16,182/49,740/546 is 2/30576
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 16,49,546 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(16,49,546) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 14
GCF(16,49,546) x common factors =1 x 14 = 14
LCM(16,49,546) = ( 16 × 49 × 546 ) / 14
LCM(16,49,546) = 428064 / 14
LCM(16,49,546) = 30576
