So the greatest common factor 36,836,618 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 970,764,284
2 | 970, 764, 284 |
2 | 485, 382, 142 |
485, 191, 71 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 485 x 191 x 71 = 26308340
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/26308340
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 36/970,836/764,618/284 is 2/26308340
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 970,764,284 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(970,764,284) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(970,764,284) x common factors =2 x 4 = 8
LCM(970,764,284) = ( 970 × 764 × 284 ) / 8
LCM(970,764,284) = 210466720 / 8
LCM(970,764,284) = 26308340
