Lets's calculate LCM of 854,239,944
2 | 854, 239, 944 |
427, 239, 472 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 427 x 239 x 472 = 96338032
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/96338032
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 38/854,978/239,815/944 is 1/96338032
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 854,239,944 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(854,239,944) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(854,239,944) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(854,239,944) = ( 854 × 239 × 944 ) / 2
LCM(854,239,944) = 192676064 / 2
LCM(854,239,944) = 96338032
