Lets's calculate LCM of 34,20,44
2 | 34, 20, 44 |
2 | 17, 10, 22 |
17, 5, 11 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 17 x 5 x 11 = 3740
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/3740
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 891/34,996/20,582/44 is 3/3740
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 34,20,44 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(34,20,44) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(34,20,44) x common factors =2 x 4 = 8
LCM(34,20,44) = ( 34 × 20 × 44 ) / 8
LCM(34,20,44) = 29920 / 8
LCM(34,20,44) = 3740
