Lets's calculate LCM of 117,579,768
3 | 117, 579, 768 |
39, 193, 256 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 39 x 193 x 256 = 5780736
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/5780736
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 458/117,318/579,726/768 is 2/5780736
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 117,579,768 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(117,579,768) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(117,579,768) x common factors =3 x 3 = 9
LCM(117,579,768) = ( 117 × 579 × 768 ) / 9
LCM(117,579,768) = 52026624 / 9
LCM(117,579,768) = 5780736
