So the greatest common factor 488,131,772 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 979,146,208
2 | 979, 146, 208 |
979, 73, 104 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 979 x 73 x 104 = 14865136
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/14865136
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 488/979,131/146,772/208 is 1/14865136
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 979,146,208 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(979,146,208) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(979,146,208) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(979,146,208) = ( 979 × 146 × 208 ) / 2
LCM(979,146,208) = 29730272 / 2
LCM(979,146,208) = 14865136
