So the greatest common factor 172,801,872 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 772,130,296
2 | 772, 130, 296 |
2 | 386, 65, 148 |
193, 65, 74 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 193 x 65 x 74 = 3713320
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3713320
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 172/772,801/130,872/296 is 1/3713320
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 772,130,296 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(772,130,296) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(772,130,296) x common factors =2 x 4 = 8
LCM(772,130,296) = ( 772 × 130 × 296 ) / 8
LCM(772,130,296) = 29706560 / 8
LCM(772,130,296) = 3713320
