So the greatest common factor 10,206,892 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 279,178,558
2 | 279, 178, 558 |
3 | 279, 89, 279 |
3 | 93, 89, 93 |
31 | 31, 89, 31 |
1, 89, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 31 x 1 x 89 x 1 = 49662
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/49662
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 10/279,206/178,892/558 is 2/49662
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 279,178,558 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(279,178,558) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 558
GCF(279,178,558) x common factors =1 x 558 = 558
LCM(279,178,558) = ( 279 × 178 × 558 ) / 558
LCM(279,178,558) = 27711396 / 558
LCM(279,178,558) = 49662
