So the greatest common factor 17,51,901 is 17.
Lets's calculate LCM of 558,176,916
2 | 558, 176, 916 |
2 | 279, 88, 458 |
279, 44, 229 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 279 x 44 x 229 = 11244816
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/11244816
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 17/558,51/176,901/916 is 17/11244816
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 558,176,916 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(558,176,916) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(558,176,916) x common factors =2 x 4 = 8
LCM(558,176,916) = ( 558 × 176 × 916 ) / 8
LCM(558,176,916) = 89958528 / 8
LCM(558,176,916) = 11244816
