We found the factors 30,744,872 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 30,744,872 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 486,501,208
2 | 486, 501, 208 |
3 | 243, 501, 104 |
81, 167, 104 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 81 x 167 x 104 = 8440848
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/8440848
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 30/486,744/501,872/208 is 2/8440848
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 486,501,208 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(486,501,208) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(486,501,208) x common factors =1 x 6 = 6
LCM(486,501,208) = ( 486 × 501 × 208 ) / 6
LCM(486,501,208) = 50645088 / 6
LCM(486,501,208) = 8440848
