Lets's calculate LCM of 480,961,824
2 | 480, 961, 824 |
2 | 240, 961, 412 |
2 | 120, 961, 206 |
60, 961, 103 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 60 x 961 x 103 = 47511840
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/47511840
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 426/480,902/961,284/824 is 2/47511840
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 480,961,824 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(480,961,824) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 8
GCF(480,961,824) x common factors =1 x 8 = 8
LCM(480,961,824) = ( 480 × 961 × 824 ) / 8
LCM(480,961,824) = 380094720 / 8
LCM(480,961,824) = 47511840
