So the greatest common factor 324,539,257 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 374,402,944
2 | 374, 402, 944 |
187, 201, 472 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 187 x 201 x 472 = 35482128
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/35482128
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 324/374,539/402,257/944 is 1/35482128
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 374,402,944 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(374,402,944) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(374,402,944) x common factors =2 x 2 = 4
LCM(374,402,944) = ( 374 × 402 × 944 ) / 4
LCM(374,402,944) = 141928512 / 4
LCM(374,402,944) = 35482128
