Lets's calculate LCM of 194,876,312
2 | 194, 876, 312 |
2 | 97, 438, 156 |
3 | 97, 219, 78 |
97, 73, 26 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 97 x 73 x 26 = 2209272
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/2209272
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 40/194,545/876,530/312 is 5/2209272
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 194,876,312 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(194,876,312) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 12
GCF(194,876,312) x common factors =2 x 12 = 24
LCM(194,876,312) = ( 194 × 876 × 312 ) / 24
LCM(194,876,312) = 53022528 / 24
LCM(194,876,312) = 2209272
