So the greatest common factor 15,160,872 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 642,522,990
2 | 642, 522, 990 |
3 | 321, 261, 495 |
3 | 107, 87, 165 |
107, 29, 55 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 107 x 29 x 55 = 3071970
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3071970
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 15/642,160/522,872/990 is 1/3071970
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 642,522,990 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(642,522,990) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 18
GCF(642,522,990) x common factors =6 x 18 = 108
LCM(642,522,990) = ( 642 × 522 × 990 ) / 108
LCM(642,522,990) = 331772760 / 108
LCM(642,522,990) = 3071970
