So the greatest common factor 389,657,456 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 738,257,420
2 | 738, 257, 420 |
3 | 369, 257, 210 |
123, 257, 70 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 123 x 257 x 70 = 13276620
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/13276620
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 389/738,657/257,456/420 is 1/13276620
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 738,257,420 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(738,257,420) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(738,257,420) x common factors =1 x 6 = 6
LCM(738,257,420) = ( 738 × 257 × 420 ) / 6
LCM(738,257,420) = 79659720 / 6
LCM(738,257,420) = 13276620
