Lets's calculate LCM of 400,431,745
5 | 400, 431, 745 |
80, 431, 149 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 80 x 431 x 149 = 25687600
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/25687600
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 900/400,284/431,696/745 is 4/25687600
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 400,431,745 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(400,431,745) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 5
GCF(400,431,745) x common factors =1 x 5 = 5
LCM(400,431,745) = ( 400 × 431 × 745 ) / 5
LCM(400,431,745) = 128438000 / 5
LCM(400,431,745) = 25687600
