Lets's calculate LCM of 388,722,760
2 | 388, 722, 760 |
2 | 194, 361, 380 |
19 | 97, 361, 190 |
97, 19, 10 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 19 x 97 x 19 x 10 = 1400680
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1400680
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 28/388,926/722,986/760 is 2/1400680
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 388,722,760 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(388,722,760) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 76
GCF(388,722,760) x common factors =2 x 76 = 152
LCM(388,722,760) = ( 388 × 722 × 760 ) / 152
LCM(388,722,760) = 212903360 / 152
LCM(388,722,760) = 1400680
