So the greatest common factor 73,74,960 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 524,279,206
2 | 524, 279, 206 |
262, 279, 103 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 262 x 279 x 103 = 15058188
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/15058188
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 73/524,74/279,960/206 is 1/15058188
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 524,279,206 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(524,279,206) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(524,279,206) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(524,279,206) = ( 524 × 279 × 206 ) / 2
LCM(524,279,206) = 30116376 / 2
LCM(524,279,206) = 15058188
