So the greatest common factor 27,52,143 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 204,538,488
2 | 204, 538, 488 |
2 | 102, 269, 244 |
51, 269, 122 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 51 x 269 x 122 = 6694872
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/6694872
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 27/204,52/538,143/488 is 1/6694872
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 204,538,488 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(204,538,488) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(204,538,488) x common factors =2 x 4 = 8
LCM(204,538,488) = ( 204 × 538 × 488 ) / 8
LCM(204,538,488) = 53558976 / 8
LCM(204,538,488) = 6694872
