So the greatest common factor 254,381 is 127.
Lets's calculate LCM of 549,912
3 | 549, 912 |
183, 304 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 183 x 304 = 166896
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 127/166896
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 254/549,381/912 is 127/166896
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 549,912 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(549,912) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(549,912) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(549,912) = ( 549 × 912 ) / 3
LCM(549,912) = 500688 / 3
LCM(549,912) = 166896
