So the greatest common factor 21,779,328 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 268,596,597
2 | 268, 596, 597 |
2 | 134, 298, 597 |
67, 149, 597 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 67 x 149 x 597 = 23839404
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/23839404
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 21/268,779/596,328/597 is 1/23839404
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 268,596,597 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(268,596,597) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(268,596,597) x common factors =1 x 4 = 4
LCM(268,596,597) = ( 268 × 596 × 597 ) / 4
LCM(268,596,597) = 95357616 / 4
LCM(268,596,597) = 23839404
