So the greatest common factor 28,868,115 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 36,17,799
17 | 36, 17, 799 |
36, 1, 47 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 17 x 36 x 1 x 47 = 28764
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/28764
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 28/36,868/17,115/799 is 1/28764
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 36,17,799 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,17,799) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 17
GCF(36,17,799) x common factors =1 x 17 = 17
LCM(36,17,799) = ( 36 × 17 × 799 ) / 17
LCM(36,17,799) = 488988 / 17
LCM(36,17,799) = 28764
