Lets's calculate LCM of 305,183,621
3 | 305, 183, 621 |
61 | 305, 61, 207 |
5, 1, 207 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 61 x 5 x 1 x 207 = 189405
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/189405
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 48/305,87/183,876/621 is 3/189405
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 305,183,621 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(305,183,621) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 183
GCF(305,183,621) x common factors =1 x 183 = 183
LCM(305,183,621) = ( 305 × 183 × 621 ) / 183
LCM(305,183,621) = 34661115 / 183
LCM(305,183,621) = 189405
