Lets's calculate LCM of 503,688,732
2 | 503, 688, 732 |
2 | 503, 344, 366 |
503, 172, 183 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 503 x 172 x 183 = 63329712
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/63329712
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 434/503,908/688,368/732 is 2/63329712
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 503,688,732 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(503,688,732) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(503,688,732) x common factors =1 x 4 = 4
LCM(503,688,732) = ( 503 × 688 × 732 ) / 4
LCM(503,688,732) = 253318848 / 4
LCM(503,688,732) = 63329712
