Lets's calculate LCM of 531,898,148
2 | 531, 898, 148 |
531, 449, 74 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 531 x 449 x 74 = 35286012
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/35286012
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 15/531,15/898,887/148 is 1/35286012
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 531,898,148 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(531,898,148) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(531,898,148) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(531,898,148) = ( 531 × 898 × 148 ) / 2
LCM(531,898,148) = 70572024 / 2
LCM(531,898,148) = 35286012
