So the greatest common factor 52,662,226 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 309,436,460
2 | 309, 436, 460 |
2 | 309, 218, 230 |
309, 109, 115 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 309 x 109 x 115 = 15493260
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/15493260
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 52/309,662/436,226/460 is 2/15493260
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 309,436,460 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(309,436,460) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(309,436,460) x common factors =1 x 4 = 4
LCM(309,436,460) = ( 309 × 436 × 460 ) / 4
LCM(309,436,460) = 61973040 / 4
LCM(309,436,460) = 15493260
