Lets's calculate LCM of 12,56,840
2 | 12, 56, 840 |
2 | 6, 28, 420 |
2 | 3, 14, 210 |
3 | 3, 7, 105 |
7 | 1, 7, 35 |
1, 1, 5 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 1 x 1 x 5 = 840
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/840
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 884/12,864/56,968/840 is 4/840
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 12,56,840 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,56,840) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 168
GCF(12,56,840) x common factors =4 x 168 = 672
LCM(12,56,840) = ( 12 × 56 × 840 ) / 672
LCM(12,56,840) = 564480 / 672
LCM(12,56,840) = 840
