So the greatest common factor 40,242,922 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 179,983,801
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 140941557
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/140941557
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 40/179,242/983,922/801 is 2/140941557
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 179,983,801 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(179,983,801) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(179,983,801) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(179,983,801) = ( 179 × 983 × 801 ) / 1
LCM(179,983,801) = 140941557 / 1
LCM(179,983,801) = 140941557
