Lets's calculate LCM of 431,296,256
2 | 431, 296, 256 |
2 | 431, 148, 128 |
2 | 431, 74, 64 |
431, 37, 32 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 431 x 37 x 32 = 4082432
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/4082432
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 279/431,597/296,264/256 is 3/4082432
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 431,296,256 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(431,296,256) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 8
GCF(431,296,256) x common factors =1 x 8 = 8
LCM(431,296,256) = ( 431 × 296 × 256 ) / 8
LCM(431,296,256) = 32659456 / 8
LCM(431,296,256) = 4082432
