So the greatest common factor 29,12,936 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 477,488,986
2 | 477, 488, 986 |
477, 244, 493 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 477 x 244 x 493 = 114758568
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/114758568
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 29/477,12/488,936/986 is 1/114758568
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 477,488,986 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(477,488,986) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(477,488,986) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(477,488,986) = ( 477 × 488 × 986 ) / 2
LCM(477,488,986) = 229517136 / 2
LCM(477,488,986) = 114758568
