So the greatest common factor 36,179,260 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 822,471,973
3 | 822, 471, 973 |
274, 157, 973 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 274 x 157 x 973 = 125569542
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/125569542
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 36/822,179/471,260/973 is 1/125569542
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 822,471,973 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(822,471,973) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(822,471,973) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(822,471,973) = ( 822 × 471 × 973 ) / 3
LCM(822,471,973) = 376708626 / 3
LCM(822,471,973) = 125569542
