So the greatest common factor 36,62,396 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 374,833,434
2 | 374, 833, 434 |
7 | 187, 833, 217 |
17 | 187, 119, 31 |
11, 7, 31 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 7 x 17 x 11 x 7 x 31 = 568106
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/568106
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 36/374,62/833,396/434 is 2/568106
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 374,833,434 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(374,833,434) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 238
GCF(374,833,434) x common factors =1 x 238 = 238
LCM(374,833,434) = ( 374 × 833 × 434 ) / 238
LCM(374,833,434) = 135209228 / 238
LCM(374,833,434) = 568106
