Lets's calculate LCM of 48,960,903
2 | 48, 960, 903 |
2 | 24, 480, 903 |
2 | 12, 240, 903 |
2 | 6, 120, 903 |
3 | 3, 60, 903 |
1, 20, 301 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 1 x 20 x 301 = 288960
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/288960
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 43/48,36/960,738/903 is 1/288960
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 48,960,903 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(48,960,903) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 48
GCF(48,960,903) x common factors =3 x 48 = 144
LCM(48,960,903) = ( 48 × 960 × 903 ) / 144
LCM(48,960,903) = 41610240 / 144
LCM(48,960,903) = 288960
