So the greatest common factor 20,42,832 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 592,536,851
2 | 592, 536, 851 |
2 | 296, 268, 851 |
2 | 148, 134, 851 |
37 | 74, 67, 851 |
2, 67, 23 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 37 x 2 x 67 x 23 = 912272
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/912272
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 20/592,42/536,832/851 is 2/912272
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 592,536,851 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(592,536,851) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 296
GCF(592,536,851) x common factors =1 x 296 = 296
LCM(592,536,851) = ( 592 × 536 × 851 ) / 296
LCM(592,536,851) = 270032512 / 296
LCM(592,536,851) = 912272
