Lets's calculate LCM of 38,96,599
2 | 38, 96, 599 |
19, 48, 599 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 19 x 48 x 599 = 1092576
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/1092576
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 36/38,536/96,980/599 is 4/1092576
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 38,96,599 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(38,96,599) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(38,96,599) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(38,96,599) = ( 38 × 96 × 599 ) / 2
LCM(38,96,599) = 2185152 / 2
LCM(38,96,599) = 1092576
