Lets's calculate LCM of 43,60,998
2 | 43, 60, 998 |
43, 30, 499 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 43 x 30 x 499 = 1287420
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/1287420
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 875/43,350/60,371/998 is 7/1287420
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 43,60,998 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(43,60,998) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(43,60,998) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(43,60,998) = ( 43 × 60 × 998 ) / 2
LCM(43,60,998) = 2574840 / 2
LCM(43,60,998) = 1287420
