So the greatest common factor 44,85,946 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 438,889,898
2 | 438, 889, 898 |
219, 889, 449 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 219 x 889 x 449 = 174832518
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/174832518
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 44/438,85/889,946/898 is 1/174832518
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 438,889,898 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(438,889,898) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(438,889,898) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(438,889,898) = ( 438 × 889 × 898 ) / 2
LCM(438,889,898) = 349665036 / 2
LCM(438,889,898) = 174832518
