Lets's calculate LCM of 973,164,498
2 | 973, 164, 498 |
973, 82, 249 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 973 x 82 x 249 = 39733428
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/39733428
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 50/973,740/164,258/498 is 2/39733428
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 973,164,498 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(973,164,498) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(973,164,498) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(973,164,498) = ( 973 × 164 × 498 ) / 2
LCM(973,164,498) = 79466856 / 2
LCM(973,164,498) = 39733428
