So the greatest common factor 36,79,182 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 97,550,730
2 | 97, 550, 730 |
5 | 97, 275, 365 |
97, 55, 73 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 97 x 55 x 73 = 3894550
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3894550
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 36/97,79/550,182/730 is 1/3894550
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 97,550,730 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(97,550,730) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 10
GCF(97,550,730) x common factors =1 x 10 = 10
LCM(97,550,730) = ( 97 × 550 × 730 ) / 10
LCM(97,550,730) = 38945500 / 10
LCM(97,550,730) = 3894550
