Lets's calculate LCM of 946,164,840
2 | 946, 164, 840 |
2 | 473, 82, 420 |
473, 41, 210 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 473 x 41 x 210 = 16290120
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/16290120
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 693/946,157/164,196/840 is 1/16290120
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 946,164,840 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(946,164,840) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(946,164,840) x common factors =2 x 4 = 8
LCM(946,164,840) = ( 946 × 164 × 840 ) / 8
LCM(946,164,840) = 130320960 / 8
LCM(946,164,840) = 16290120
