Lets's calculate LCM of 282,239,452
2 | 282, 239, 452 |
141, 239, 226 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 141 x 239 x 226 = 15231948
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 28/15231948
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 28/282,56/239,672/452 is 28/15231948
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 282,239,452 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(282,239,452) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(282,239,452) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(282,239,452) = ( 282 × 239 × 452 ) / 2
LCM(282,239,452) = 30463896 / 2
LCM(282,239,452) = 15231948
