So the greatest common factor 38,74,735 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 27,636,118
2 | 27, 636, 118 |
3 | 27, 318, 59 |
9, 106, 59 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 9 x 106 x 59 = 337716
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/337716
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 38/27,74/636,735/118 is 1/337716
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 27,636,118 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(27,636,118) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(27,636,118) x common factors =1 x 6 = 6
LCM(27,636,118) = ( 27 × 636 × 118 ) / 6
LCM(27,636,118) = 2026296 / 6
LCM(27,636,118) = 337716
