We found the factors 20,12,984 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 20,12,984 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 515,774,301
43 | 515, 774, 301 |
515, 18, 7 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 43 x 515 x 18 x 7 = 2790270
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/2790270
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 20/515,12/774,984/301 is 4/2790270
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 515,774,301 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(515,774,301) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 43
GCF(515,774,301) x common factors =1 x 43 = 43
LCM(515,774,301) = ( 515 × 774 × 301 ) / 43
LCM(515,774,301) = 119981610 / 43
LCM(515,774,301) = 2790270
