So the greatest common factor 16,96,528 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 407,208,572
2 | 407, 208, 572 |
2 | 407, 104, 286 |
11 | 407, 52, 143 |
13 | 37, 52, 13 |
37, 4, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 11 x 13 x 37 x 4 x 1 = 84656
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/84656
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 16/407,96/208,528/572 is 16/84656
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 407,208,572 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(407,208,572) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 572
GCF(407,208,572) x common factors =1 x 572 = 572
LCM(407,208,572) = ( 407 × 208 × 572 ) / 572
LCM(407,208,572) = 48423232 / 572
LCM(407,208,572) = 84656
