Lets's calculate LCM of 789,140,662
2 | 789, 140, 662 |
789, 70, 331 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 789 x 70 x 331 = 36562260
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/36562260
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 974/789,124/140,872/662 is 2/36562260
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 789,140,662 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(789,140,662) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(789,140,662) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(789,140,662) = ( 789 × 140 × 662 ) / 2
LCM(789,140,662) = 73124520 / 2
LCM(789,140,662) = 36562260
