So the greatest common factor 542,796,168 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 330,523,426
| 2 | 330, 523, 426 |
| 3 | 165, 523, 213 |
| 55, 523, 71 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 55 x 523 x 71 = 12253890
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/12253890
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 542/330,796/523,168/426 is 2/12253890
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 330,523,426 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(330,523,426) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(330,523,426) x common factors =1 x 6 = 6
LCM(330,523,426) = ( 330 × 523 × 426 ) / 6
LCM(330,523,426) = 73523340 / 6
LCM(330,523,426) = 12253890
