So the greatest common factor 36,646,280 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 884,573,894
2 | 884, 573, 894 |
3 | 442, 573, 447 |
442, 191, 149 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 442 x 191 x 149 = 75473268
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/75473268
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 36/884,646/573,280/894 is 2/75473268
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 884,573,894 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(884,573,894) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(884,573,894) x common factors =1 x 6 = 6
LCM(884,573,894) = ( 884 × 573 × 894 ) / 6
LCM(884,573,894) = 452839608 / 6
LCM(884,573,894) = 75473268
