So the greatest common factor 36,396,816 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 49,37,341
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 618233
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/618233
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 36/49,396/37,816/341 is 12/618233
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 49,37,341 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(49,37,341) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(49,37,341) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(49,37,341) = ( 49 × 37 × 341 ) / 1
LCM(49,37,341) = 618233 / 1
LCM(49,37,341) = 618233
