So the greatest common factor 218,582,536 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 97,68,840
2 | 97, 68, 840 |
2 | 97, 34, 420 |
97, 17, 210 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 97 x 17 x 210 = 1385160
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1385160
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 218/97,582/68,536/840 is 2/1385160
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 97,68,840 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(97,68,840) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(97,68,840) x common factors =1 x 4 = 4
LCM(97,68,840) = ( 97 × 68 × 840 ) / 4
LCM(97,68,840) = 5540640 / 4
LCM(97,68,840) = 1385160
