Lets's calculate LCM of 490,220,896
2 | 490, 220, 896 |
2 | 245, 110, 448 |
5 | 245, 55, 224 |
7 | 49, 11, 224 |
7, 11, 32 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 5 x 7 x 7 x 11 x 32 = 344960
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/344960
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 948/490,948/220,558/896 is 6/344960
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 490,220,896 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(490,220,896) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 140
GCF(490,220,896) x common factors =2 x 140 = 280
LCM(490,220,896) = ( 490 × 220 × 896 ) / 280
LCM(490,220,896) = 96588800 / 280
LCM(490,220,896) = 344960
