So the greatest common factor 38,257,252 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 357,984,389
3 | 357, 984, 389 |
119, 328, 389 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 119 x 328 x 389 = 45550344
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/45550344
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 38/357,257/984,252/389 is 1/45550344
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 357,984,389 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(357,984,389) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(357,984,389) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(357,984,389) = ( 357 × 984 × 389 ) / 3
LCM(357,984,389) = 136651032 / 3
LCM(357,984,389) = 45550344
