Lets's calculate LCM of 199,648,296
2 | 199, 648, 296 |
2 | 199, 324, 148 |
2 | 199, 162, 74 |
199, 81, 37 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 199 x 81 x 37 = 4771224
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/4771224
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 543/199,234/648,408/296 is 3/4771224
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 199,648,296 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(199,648,296) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 8
GCF(199,648,296) x common factors =1 x 8 = 8
LCM(199,648,296) = ( 199 × 648 × 296 ) / 8
LCM(199,648,296) = 38169792 / 8
LCM(199,648,296) = 4771224
