Lets's calculate LCM of 648,896,291
2 | 648, 896, 291 |
2 | 324, 448, 291 |
2 | 162, 224, 291 |
3 | 81, 112, 291 |
27, 112, 97 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 27 x 112 x 97 = 7039872
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/7039872
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 371/648,887/896,978/291 is 1/7039872
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 648,896,291 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(648,896,291) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 24
GCF(648,896,291) x common factors =1 x 24 = 24
LCM(648,896,291) = ( 648 × 896 × 291 ) / 24
LCM(648,896,291) = 168956928 / 24
LCM(648,896,291) = 7039872
