So the greatest common factor 18,16,914 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 487,327,763
109 | 487, 327, 763 |
487, 3, 7 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 109 x 487 x 3 x 7 = 1114743
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1114743
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 18/487,16/327,914/763 is 2/1114743
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 487,327,763 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(487,327,763) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 109
GCF(487,327,763) x common factors =1 x 109 = 109
LCM(487,327,763) = ( 487 × 327 × 763 ) / 109
LCM(487,327,763) = 121506987 / 109
LCM(487,327,763) = 1114743
