Lets's calculate LCM of 381,381,649
3 | 381, 381, 649 |
127 | 127, 127, 649 |
1, 1, 649 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 127 x 1 x 1 x 649 = 247269
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/247269
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 26/381,16/381,308/649 is 2/247269
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 381,381,649 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(381,381,649) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 381
GCF(381,381,649) x common factors =1 x 381 = 381
LCM(381,381,649) = ( 381 × 381 × 649 ) / 381
LCM(381,381,649) = 94209489 / 381
LCM(381,381,649) = 247269
