So the greatest common factor 48,37,401 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 988,900,490
2 | 988, 900, 490 |
2 | 494, 450, 245 |
5 | 247, 225, 245 |
247, 45, 49 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 5 x 247 x 45 x 49 = 10892700
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/10892700
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 48/988,37/900,401/490 is 1/10892700
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 988,900,490 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(988,900,490) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 20
GCF(988,900,490) x common factors =2 x 20 = 40
LCM(988,900,490) = ( 988 × 900 × 490 ) / 40
LCM(988,900,490) = 435708000 / 40
LCM(988,900,490) = 10892700
