So the greatest common factor 49,36,562 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 492,723,728
2 | 492, 723, 728 |
2 | 246, 723, 364 |
3 | 123, 723, 182 |
41, 241, 182 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 41 x 241 x 182 = 21580104
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/21580104
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 49/492,36/723,562/728 is 1/21580104
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 492,723,728 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(492,723,728) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 12
GCF(492,723,728) x common factors =1 x 12 = 12
LCM(492,723,728) = ( 492 × 723 × 728 ) / 12
LCM(492,723,728) = 258961248 / 12
LCM(492,723,728) = 21580104
