Lets's calculate LCM of 958,878,480
2 | 958, 878, 480 |
479, 439, 240 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 479 x 439 x 240 = 100934880
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/100934880
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 22/958,78/878,178/480 is 2/100934880
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 958,878,480 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(958,878,480) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(958,878,480) x common factors =2 x 2 = 4
LCM(958,878,480) = ( 958 × 878 × 480 ) / 4
LCM(958,878,480) = 403739520 / 4
LCM(958,878,480) = 100934880
