So the greatest common factor 36,293,499 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 186,759,260
2 | 186, 759, 260 |
3 | 93, 759, 130 |
31, 253, 130 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 31 x 253 x 130 = 6117540
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/6117540
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 36/186,293/759,499/260 is 1/6117540
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 186,759,260 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(186,759,260) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(186,759,260) x common factors =1 x 6 = 6
LCM(186,759,260) = ( 186 × 759 × 260 ) / 6
LCM(186,759,260) = 36705240 / 6
LCM(186,759,260) = 6117540
