So the greatest common factor 68,164,336 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 46,63,324
2 | 46, 63, 324 |
3 | 23, 63, 162 |
3 | 23, 21, 54 |
23, 7, 18 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 23 x 7 x 18 = 52164
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/52164
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 68/46,164/63,336/324 is 4/52164
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 46,63,324 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(46,63,324) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 18
GCF(46,63,324) x common factors =1 x 18 = 18
LCM(46,63,324) = ( 46 × 63 × 324 ) / 18
LCM(46,63,324) = 938952 / 18
LCM(46,63,324) = 52164
