So the greatest common factor 43,738,324 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 159,117,320
3 | 159, 117, 320 |
53, 39, 320 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 53 x 39 x 320 = 1984320
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1984320
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 43/159,738/117,324/320 is 1/1984320
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 159,117,320 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(159,117,320) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(159,117,320) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(159,117,320) = ( 159 × 117 × 320 ) / 3
LCM(159,117,320) = 5952960 / 3
LCM(159,117,320) = 1984320
