So the greatest common factor 80,28,498 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 36,786,364
2 | 36, 786, 364 |
2 | 18, 393, 182 |
3 | 9, 393, 91 |
3, 131, 91 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 131 x 91 = 429156
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/429156
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 80/36,28/786,498/364 is 2/429156
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 36,786,364 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,786,364) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 12
GCF(36,786,364) x common factors =2 x 12 = 24
LCM(36,786,364) = ( 36 × 786 × 364 ) / 24
LCM(36,786,364) = 10299744 / 24
LCM(36,786,364) = 429156
