So the greatest common factor 230,978,956 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,49,400
2 | 72, 49, 400 |
2 | 36, 49, 200 |
2 | 18, 49, 100 |
9, 49, 50 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 9 x 49 x 50 = 176400
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/176400
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 230/72,978/49,956/400 is 2/176400
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 72,49,400 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,49,400) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 8
GCF(72,49,400) x common factors =1 x 8 = 8
LCM(72,49,400) = ( 72 × 49 × 400 ) / 8
LCM(72,49,400) = 1411200 / 8
LCM(72,49,400) = 176400
