So the greatest common factor 4,42,68,234 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 74,25,329,603
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 367015950
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/367015950
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4/74,42/25,68/329,234/603 is 2/367015950
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 74,25,329,603 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(74,25,329,603) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(74,25,329,603) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(74,25,329,603) = ( 74 × 25 × 329 × 603 ) / 1
LCM(74,25,329,603) = 367015950 / 1
LCM(74,25,329,603) = 367015950
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
