So the greatest common factor 78,415,378 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 272,799,293
17 | 272, 799, 293 |
16, 47, 293 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 17 x 16 x 47 x 293 = 3745712
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3745712
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 78/272,415/799,378/293 is 1/3745712
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 272,799,293 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(272,799,293) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 17
GCF(272,799,293) x common factors =1 x 17 = 17
LCM(272,799,293) = ( 272 × 799 × 293 ) / 17
LCM(272,799,293) = 63677104 / 17
LCM(272,799,293) = 3745712
