So the greatest common factor 58,18,540 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 179,299,966
23 | 179, 299, 966 |
179, 13, 42 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 23 x 179 x 13 x 42 = 2247882
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2247882
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 58/179,18/299,540/966 is 2/2247882
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 179,299,966 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(179,299,966) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 23
GCF(179,299,966) x common factors =1 x 23 = 23
LCM(179,299,966) = ( 179 × 299 × 966 ) / 23
LCM(179,299,966) = 51701286 / 23
LCM(179,299,966) = 2247882
