So the greatest common factor 15,44,246 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 238,290,849
2 | 238, 290, 849 |
119, 145, 849 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 119 x 145 x 849 = 29298990
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/29298990
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 15/238,44/290,246/849 is 1/29298990
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 238,290,849 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(238,290,849) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(238,290,849) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(238,290,849) = ( 238 × 290 × 849 ) / 2
LCM(238,290,849) = 58597980 / 2
LCM(238,290,849) = 29298990
