So the greatest common factor 897,843,324 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 36,15,22
2 | 36, 15, 22 |
3 | 18, 15, 11 |
6, 5, 11 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 6 x 5 x 11 = 1980
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1980
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 897/36,843/15,324/22 is 3/1980
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 36,15,22 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,15,22) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(36,15,22) x common factors =1 x 6 = 6
LCM(36,15,22) = ( 36 × 15 × 22 ) / 6
LCM(36,15,22) = 11880 / 6
LCM(36,15,22) = 1980
