So the greatest common factor 36,16,226 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 982,824,800
2 | 982, 824, 800 |
2 | 491, 412, 400 |
2 | 491, 206, 200 |
491, 103, 100 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 491 x 103 x 100 = 40458400
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/40458400
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 36/982,16/824,226/800 is 2/40458400
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 982,824,800 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(982,824,800) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 8
GCF(982,824,800) x common factors =2 x 8 = 16
LCM(982,824,800) = ( 982 × 824 × 800 ) / 16
LCM(982,824,800) = 647334400 / 16
LCM(982,824,800) = 40458400
