Lets's calculate LCM of 466,587,256
2 | 466, 587, 256 |
233, 587, 128 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 233 x 587 x 128 = 35013376
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/35013376
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 348/466,548/587,306/256 is 2/35013376
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 466,587,256 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(466,587,256) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(466,587,256) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(466,587,256) = ( 466 × 587 × 256 ) / 2
LCM(466,587,256) = 70026752 / 2
LCM(466,587,256) = 35013376
