So the greatest common factor 48,70,542 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 181,212,818
2 | 181, 212, 818 |
181, 106, 409 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 181 x 106 x 409 = 15694148
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/15694148
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 48/181,70/212,542/818 is 2/15694148
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 181,212,818 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(181,212,818) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(181,212,818) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(181,212,818) = ( 181 × 212 × 818 ) / 2
LCM(181,212,818) = 31388296 / 2
LCM(181,212,818) = 15694148
