So the greatest common factor 278,567,538 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 764,374,306
2 | 764, 374, 306 |
17 | 382, 187, 153 |
382, 11, 9 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 17 x 382 x 11 x 9 = 1285812
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1285812
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 278/764,567/374,538/306 is 1/1285812
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 764,374,306 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(764,374,306) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 34
GCF(764,374,306) x common factors =2 x 34 = 68
LCM(764,374,306) = ( 764 × 374 × 306 ) / 68
LCM(764,374,306) = 87435216 / 68
LCM(764,374,306) = 1285812
