Lets's calculate LCM of 953,831,555
3 | 953, 831, 555 |
953, 277, 185 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 953 x 277 x 185 = 146509455
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/146509455
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 424/953,606/831,278/555 is 2/146509455
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 953,831,555 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(953,831,555) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(953,831,555) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(953,831,555) = ( 953 × 831 × 555 ) / 3
LCM(953,831,555) = 439528365 / 3
LCM(953,831,555) = 146509455
