So the greatest common factor 497,812,636 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 228,448,856
2 | 228, 448, 856 |
2 | 114, 224, 428 |
2 | 57, 112, 214 |
57, 56, 107 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 57 x 56 x 107 = 2732352
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2732352
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 497/228,812/448,636/856 is 1/2732352
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 228,448,856 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(228,448,856) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 8
GCF(228,448,856) x common factors =4 x 8 = 32
LCM(228,448,856) = ( 228 × 448 × 856 ) / 32
LCM(228,448,856) = 87435264 / 32
LCM(228,448,856) = 2732352
