So the greatest common factor 32,520,688 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 295,653,542
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 104408170
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/104408170
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 32/295,520/653,688/542 is 8/104408170
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 295,653,542 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(295,653,542) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(295,653,542) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(295,653,542) = ( 295 × 653 × 542 ) / 1
LCM(295,653,542) = 104408170 / 1
LCM(295,653,542) = 104408170
