So the greatest common factor 76,556,266 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 37,81,291
3 | 37, 81, 291 |
37, 27, 97 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 37 x 27 x 97 = 290709
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/290709
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 76/37,556/81,266/291 is 2/290709
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 37,81,291 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(37,81,291) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(37,81,291) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(37,81,291) = ( 37 × 81 × 291 ) / 3
LCM(37,81,291) = 872127 / 3
LCM(37,81,291) = 290709
