So the greatest common factor 262,988,341 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 74,46,849
2 | 74, 46, 849 |
37, 23, 849 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 37 x 23 x 849 = 1444998
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1444998
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 262/74,988/46,341/849 is 1/1444998
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 74,46,849 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(74,46,849) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(74,46,849) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(74,46,849) = ( 74 × 46 × 849 ) / 2
LCM(74,46,849) = 2889996 / 2
LCM(74,46,849) = 1444998
