Lets's calculate LCM of 380,118,881
2 | 380, 118, 881 |
190, 59, 881 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 190 x 59 x 881 = 19752020
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/19752020
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 240/380,812/118,998/881 is 2/19752020
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 380,118,881 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(380,118,881) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(380,118,881) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(380,118,881) = ( 380 × 118 × 881 ) / 2
LCM(380,118,881) = 39504040 / 2
LCM(380,118,881) = 19752020
