So the greatest common factor 40,40,552 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 884,816,580
2 | 884, 816, 580 |
2 | 442, 408, 290 |
17 | 221, 204, 145 |
13, 12, 145 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 17 x 13 x 12 x 145 = 1538160
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/1538160
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 40/884,40/816,552/580 is 8/1538160
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 884,816,580 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(884,816,580) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 68
GCF(884,816,580) x common factors =4 x 68 = 272
LCM(884,816,580) = ( 884 × 816 × 580 ) / 272
LCM(884,816,580) = 418379520 / 272
LCM(884,816,580) = 1538160
