So the greatest common factor 48,38,644 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 518,372,486
2 | 518, 372, 486 |
3 | 259, 186, 243 |
259, 62, 81 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 259 x 62 x 81 = 7804188
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/7804188
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 48/518,38/372,644/486 is 2/7804188
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 518,372,486 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(518,372,486) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(518,372,486) x common factors =2 x 6 = 12
LCM(518,372,486) = ( 518 × 372 × 486 ) / 12
LCM(518,372,486) = 93650256 / 12
LCM(518,372,486) = 7804188
