So the greatest common factor 26,42,352 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 156,824,460
2 | 156, 824, 460 |
2 | 78, 412, 230 |
39, 206, 115 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 39 x 206 x 115 = 3695640
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3695640
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 26/156,42/824,352/460 is 2/3695640
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 156,824,460 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(156,824,460) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(156,824,460) x common factors =4 x 4 = 16
LCM(156,824,460) = ( 156 × 824 × 460 ) / 16
LCM(156,824,460) = 59130240 / 16
LCM(156,824,460) = 3695640
