So the greatest common factor 26,446,872 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 936,673,440
2 | 936, 673, 440 |
2 | 468, 673, 220 |
2 | 234, 673, 110 |
117, 673, 55 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 117 x 673 x 55 = 34646040
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/34646040
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 26/936,446/673,872/440 is 2/34646040
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 936,673,440 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(936,673,440) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 8
GCF(936,673,440) x common factors =1 x 8 = 8
LCM(936,673,440) = ( 936 × 673 × 440 ) / 8
LCM(936,673,440) = 277168320 / 8
LCM(936,673,440) = 34646040
