So the greatest common factor 21,373,879 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 738,440,912
2 | 738, 440, 912 |
2 | 369, 220, 456 |
2 | 369, 110, 228 |
3 | 369, 55, 114 |
123, 55, 38 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 123 x 55 x 38 = 6169680
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/6169680
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 21/738,373/440,879/912 is 1/6169680
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 738,440,912 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(738,440,912) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 24
GCF(738,440,912) x common factors =2 x 24 = 48
LCM(738,440,912) = ( 738 × 440 × 912 ) / 48
LCM(738,440,912) = 296144640 / 48
LCM(738,440,912) = 6169680
