So the greatest common factor 518,718,436 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 79,37,320
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 935360
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/935360
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 518/79,718/37,436/320 is 2/935360
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 79,37,320 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(79,37,320) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(79,37,320) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(79,37,320) = ( 79 × 37 × 320 ) / 1
LCM(79,37,320) = 935360 / 1
LCM(79,37,320) = 935360
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
