Lets's calculate LCM of 270,686,162
2 | 270, 686, 162 |
3 | 135, 343, 81 |
3 | 45, 343, 27 |
3 | 15, 343, 9 |
5, 343, 3 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 343 x 3 = 277830
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/277830
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 44/270,44/686,488/162 is 4/277830
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 270,686,162 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(270,686,162) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 54
GCF(270,686,162) x common factors =2 x 54 = 108
LCM(270,686,162) = ( 270 × 686 × 162 ) / 108
LCM(270,686,162) = 30005640 / 108
LCM(270,686,162) = 277830
