So the greatest common factor 52,18,974 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 334,226,619
2 | 334, 226, 619 |
167, 113, 619 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 167 x 113 x 619 = 23362298
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/23362298
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 52/334,18/226,974/619 is 2/23362298
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 334,226,619 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(334,226,619) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(334,226,619) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(334,226,619) = ( 334 × 226 × 619 ) / 2
LCM(334,226,619) = 46724596 / 2
LCM(334,226,619) = 23362298
