Lets's calculate LCM of 446,172,842
2 | 446, 172, 842 |
223, 86, 421 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 223 x 86 x 421 = 16147876
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/16147876
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 36/446,464/172,288/842 is 4/16147876
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 446,172,842 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(446,172,842) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(446,172,842) x common factors =2 x 2 = 4
LCM(446,172,842) = ( 446 × 172 × 842 ) / 4
LCM(446,172,842) = 64591504 / 4
LCM(446,172,842) = 16147876
