So the greatest common factor 38,246,846 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 19,25,824
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 391400
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/391400
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 38/19,246/25,846/824 is 2/391400
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 19,25,824 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(19,25,824) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(19,25,824) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(19,25,824) = ( 19 × 25 × 824 ) / 1
LCM(19,25,824) = 391400 / 1
LCM(19,25,824) = 391400
