Lets's calculate LCM of 403,488,562
2 | 403, 488, 562 |
403, 244, 281 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 403 x 244 x 281 = 55262584
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/55262584
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 75/403,12/488,498/562 is 3/55262584
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 403,488,562 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(403,488,562) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(403,488,562) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(403,488,562) = ( 403 × 488 × 562 ) / 2
LCM(403,488,562) = 110525168 / 2
LCM(403,488,562) = 55262584
