We found the factors 46,86,423 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 46,86,423 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 316,532,228
2 | 316, 532, 228 |
2 | 158, 266, 114 |
19 | 79, 133, 57 |
79, 7, 3 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 19 x 79 x 7 x 3 = 126084
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/126084
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 46/316,86/532,423/228 is 1/126084
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 316,532,228 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(316,532,228) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 76
GCF(316,532,228) x common factors =4 x 76 = 304
LCM(316,532,228) = ( 316 × 532 × 228 ) / 304
LCM(316,532,228) = 38329536 / 304
LCM(316,532,228) = 126084
