Lets's calculate LCM of 18,40,662,936
2 | 18, 40, 662, 936 |
2 | 9, 20, 331, 468 |
2 | 9, 10, 331, 234 |
3 | 9, 5, 331, 117 |
3 | 3, 5, 331, 39 |
1, 5, 331, 13 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 1 x 5 x 331 x 13 = 1549080
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1549080
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4/18,10/40,70/662,598/936 is 2/1549080
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 18,40,662,936 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(18,40,662,936) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 144
GCF(18,40,662,936) x common factors =2 x 144 = 288
LCM(18,40,662,936) = ( 18 × 40 × 662 × 936 ) / 288
LCM(18,40,662,936) = 446135040 / 288
LCM(18,40,662,936) = 1549080
