So the greatest common factor 36,89,176 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 484,942,786
2 | 484, 942, 786 |
3 | 242, 471, 393 |
242, 157, 131 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 242 x 157 x 131 = 29863284
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/29863284
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 36/484,89/942,176/786 is 1/29863284
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 484,942,786 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(484,942,786) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(484,942,786) x common factors =2 x 6 = 12
LCM(484,942,786) = ( 484 × 942 × 786 ) / 12
LCM(484,942,786) = 358359408 / 12
LCM(484,942,786) = 29863284
