So the greatest common factor 36,58,968 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 917,805,276
7 | 917, 805, 276 |
23 | 131, 115, 276 |
131, 5, 12 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 23 x 131 x 5 x 12 = 1265460
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1265460
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 36/917,58/805,968/276 is 2/1265460
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 917,805,276 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(917,805,276) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 161
GCF(917,805,276) x common factors =1 x 161 = 161
LCM(917,805,276) = ( 917 × 805 × 276 ) / 161
LCM(917,805,276) = 203739060 / 161
LCM(917,805,276) = 1265460
