So the greatest common factor 394,986,245 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 397,878,642
2 | 397, 878, 642 |
397, 439, 321 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 397 x 439 x 321 = 111889686
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/111889686
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 394/397,986/878,245/642 is 1/111889686
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 397,878,642 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(397,878,642) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(397,878,642) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(397,878,642) = ( 397 × 878 × 642 ) / 2
LCM(397,878,642) = 223779372 / 2
LCM(397,878,642) = 111889686
