So the greatest common factor 48,12,696 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 182,336,445
2 | 182, 336, 445 |
7 | 91, 168, 445 |
13, 24, 445 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 7 x 13 x 24 x 445 = 1943760
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/1943760
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 48/182,12/336,696/445 is 12/1943760
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 182,336,445 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(182,336,445) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 14
GCF(182,336,445) x common factors =1 x 14 = 14
LCM(182,336,445) = ( 182 × 336 × 445 ) / 14
LCM(182,336,445) = 27212640 / 14
LCM(182,336,445) = 1943760
