So the greatest common factor 36,78,748 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 132,900,909
2 | 132, 900, 909 |
2 | 66, 450, 909 |
3 | 33, 225, 909 |
3 | 11, 75, 303 |
11, 25, 101 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 11 x 25 x 101 = 999900
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/999900
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 36/132,78/900,748/909 is 2/999900
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 132,900,909 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(132,900,909) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 36
GCF(132,900,909) x common factors =3 x 36 = 108
LCM(132,900,909) = ( 132 × 900 × 909 ) / 108
LCM(132,900,909) = 107989200 / 108
LCM(132,900,909) = 999900
