Lets's calculate LCM of 296,336,144
2 | 296, 336, 144 |
2 | 148, 168, 72 |
2 | 74, 84, 36 |
2 | 37, 42, 18 |
3 | 37, 21, 9 |
37, 7, 3 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 37 x 7 x 3 = 37296
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/37296
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 944/296,178/336,466/144 is 2/37296
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 296,336,144 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(296,336,144) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 48
GCF(296,336,144) x common factors =8 x 48 = 384
LCM(296,336,144) = ( 296 × 336 × 144 ) / 384
LCM(296,336,144) = 14321664 / 384
LCM(296,336,144) = 37296
