So the greatest common factor 30,50,970 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 208,637,360
2 | 208, 637, 360 |
2 | 104, 637, 180 |
2 | 52, 637, 90 |
13 | 26, 637, 45 |
2, 49, 45 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 13 x 2 x 49 x 45 = 458640
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/458640
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 30/208,50/637,970/360 is 10/458640
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 208,637,360 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(208,637,360) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 104
GCF(208,637,360) x common factors =1 x 104 = 104
LCM(208,637,360) = ( 208 × 637 × 360 ) / 104
LCM(208,637,360) = 47698560 / 104
LCM(208,637,360) = 458640
