So the greatest common factor 20,13,872 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 924,186,768
2 | 924, 186, 768 |
2 | 462, 93, 384 |
3 | 231, 93, 192 |
77, 31, 64 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 77 x 31 x 64 = 1833216
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1833216
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 20/924,13/186,872/768 is 1/1833216
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 924,186,768 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(924,186,768) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 12
GCF(924,186,768) x common factors =6 x 12 = 72
LCM(924,186,768) = ( 924 × 186 × 768 ) / 72
LCM(924,186,768) = 131991552 / 72
LCM(924,186,768) = 1833216
