Lets's calculate LCM of 408,542,997
2 | 408, 542, 997 |
204, 271, 997 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 204 x 271 x 997 = 110236296
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/110236296
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 179/408,278/542,768/997 is 1/110236296
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 408,542,997 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(408,542,997) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(408,542,997) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(408,542,997) = ( 408 × 542 × 997 ) / 2
LCM(408,542,997) = 220472592 / 2
LCM(408,542,997) = 110236296
