So the greatest common factor 616,916,340 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 24,24,16
2 | 24, 24, 16 |
2 | 12, 12, 8 |
2 | 6, 6, 4 |
3 | 3, 3, 2 |
1, 1, 2 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 1 x 1 x 2 = 48
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/48
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 616/24,916/24,340/16 is 4/48
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 24,24,16 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(24,24,16) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 24
GCF(24,24,16) x common factors =8 x 24 = 192
LCM(24,24,16) = ( 24 × 24 × 16 ) / 192
LCM(24,24,16) = 9216 / 192
LCM(24,24,16) = 48
