So the greatest common factor 46,18,897 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 456,762,159
2 | 456, 762, 159 |
3 | 228, 381, 159 |
76, 127, 53 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 76 x 127 x 53 = 3069336
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3069336
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 46/456,18/762,897/159 is 1/3069336
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 456,762,159 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(456,762,159) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(456,762,159) x common factors =3 x 6 = 18
LCM(456,762,159) = ( 456 × 762 × 159 ) / 18
LCM(456,762,159) = 55248048 / 18
LCM(456,762,159) = 3069336
