So the greatest common factor 88,520,972 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 76,36,406
2 | 76, 36, 406 |
2 | 38, 18, 203 |
19, 9, 203 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 19 x 9 x 203 = 138852
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/138852
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 88/76,520/36,972/406 is 4/138852
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 76,36,406 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(76,36,406) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(76,36,406) x common factors =2 x 4 = 8
LCM(76,36,406) = ( 76 × 36 × 406 ) / 8
LCM(76,36,406) = 1110816 / 8
LCM(76,36,406) = 138852
