So the greatest common factor 20,264,318 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 438,322,237
2 | 438, 322, 237 |
3 | 219, 161, 237 |
73, 161, 79 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 73 x 161 x 79 = 5570922
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/5570922
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 20/438,264/322,318/237 is 2/5570922
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 438,322,237 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(438,322,237) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(438,322,237) x common factors =1 x 6 = 6
LCM(438,322,237) = ( 438 × 322 × 237 ) / 6
LCM(438,322,237) = 33425532 / 6
LCM(438,322,237) = 5570922
