So the greatest common factor 36,12,458 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 768,309,423
3 | 768, 309, 423 |
256, 103, 141 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 256 x 103 x 141 = 11153664
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/11153664
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 36/768,12/309,458/423 is 2/11153664
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 768,309,423 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(768,309,423) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(768,309,423) x common factors =3 x 3 = 9
LCM(768,309,423) = ( 768 × 309 × 423 ) / 9
LCM(768,309,423) = 100382976 / 9
LCM(768,309,423) = 11153664
