So the greatest common factor 362,178,464 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,28,829
2 | 12, 28, 829 |
2 | 6, 14, 829 |
3, 7, 829 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 829 = 69636
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/69636
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 362/12,178/28,464/829 is 2/69636
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 12,28,829 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,28,829) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(12,28,829) x common factors =1 x 4 = 4
LCM(12,28,829) = ( 12 × 28 × 829 ) / 4
LCM(12,28,829) = 278544 / 4
LCM(12,28,829) = 69636
