So the greatest common factor 21,545,368 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 423,528,548
2 | 423, 528, 548 |
2 | 423, 264, 274 |
3 | 423, 132, 137 |
141, 44, 137 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 141 x 44 x 137 = 10199376
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/10199376
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 21/423,545/528,368/548 is 1/10199376
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 423,528,548 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(423,528,548) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 12
GCF(423,528,548) x common factors =1 x 12 = 12
LCM(423,528,548) = ( 423 × 528 × 548 ) / 12
LCM(423,528,548) = 122392512 / 12
LCM(423,528,548) = 10199376
