Lets's calculate LCM of 936,558,775
2 | 936, 558, 775 |
3 | 468, 279, 775 |
3 | 156, 93, 775 |
31 | 52, 31, 775 |
52, 1, 25 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 31 x 52 x 1 x 25 = 725400
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/725400
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 42/936,611/558,897/775 is 1/725400
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 936,558,775 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(936,558,775) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 558
GCF(936,558,775) x common factors =1 x 558 = 558
LCM(936,558,775) = ( 936 × 558 × 775 ) / 558
LCM(936,558,775) = 404773200 / 558
LCM(936,558,775) = 725400
