So the greatest common factor 234,560,118 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 374,567,280
2 | 374, 567, 280 |
7 | 187, 567, 140 |
187, 81, 20 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 7 x 187 x 81 x 20 = 4241160
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/4241160
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 234/374,560/567,118/280 is 2/4241160
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 374,567,280 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(374,567,280) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 14
GCF(374,567,280) x common factors =1 x 14 = 14
LCM(374,567,280) = ( 374 × 567 × 280 ) / 14
LCM(374,567,280) = 59376240 / 14
LCM(374,567,280) = 4241160
