Lets's calculate LCM of 117,346,738
2 | 117, 346, 738 |
3 | 117, 173, 369 |
3 | 39, 173, 123 |
13, 173, 41 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 13 x 173 x 41 = 1659762
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1659762
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 222/117,408/346,980/738 is 2/1659762
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 117,346,738 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(117,346,738) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 18
GCF(117,346,738) x common factors =1 x 18 = 18
LCM(117,346,738) = ( 117 × 346 × 738 ) / 18
LCM(117,346,738) = 29875716 / 18
LCM(117,346,738) = 1659762
