So the greatest common factor 72,22,698 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 15,856,770
2 | 15, 856, 770 |
5 | 15, 428, 385 |
3, 428, 77 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 3 x 428 x 77 = 988680
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/988680
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 72/15,22/856,698/770 is 2/988680
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 15,856,770 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(15,856,770) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 10
GCF(15,856,770) x common factors =1 x 10 = 10
LCM(15,856,770) = ( 15 × 856 × 770 ) / 10
LCM(15,856,770) = 9886800 / 10
LCM(15,856,770) = 988680
