Lets's calculate LCM of 808,988,672
2 | 808, 988, 672 |
2 | 404, 494, 336 |
2 | 202, 247, 168 |
101, 247, 84 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 101 x 247 x 84 = 16764384
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/16764384
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 159/808,884/988,861/672 is 1/16764384
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 808,988,672 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(808,988,672) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 8
GCF(808,988,672) x common factors =4 x 8 = 32
LCM(808,988,672) = ( 808 × 988 × 672 ) / 32
LCM(808,988,672) = 536460288 / 32
LCM(808,988,672) = 16764384
