So the greatest common factor 20,78,302 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 656,227,429
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 63883248
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/63883248
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 20/656,78/227,302/429 is 2/63883248
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 656,227,429 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(656,227,429) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(656,227,429) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(656,227,429) = ( 656 × 227 × 429 ) / 1
LCM(656,227,429) = 63883248 / 1
LCM(656,227,429) = 63883248
