So the greatest common factor 45,20,290 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 463,962,778
2 | 463, 962, 778 |
463, 481, 389 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 463 x 481 x 389 = 173262934
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/173262934
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 45/463,20/962,290/778 is 5/173262934
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 463,962,778 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(463,962,778) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(463,962,778) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(463,962,778) = ( 463 × 962 × 778 ) / 2
LCM(463,962,778) = 346525868 / 2
LCM(463,962,778) = 173262934
