So the greatest common factor 58,552,486 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,89,308
2 | 12, 89, 308 |
2 | 6, 89, 154 |
3, 89, 77 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 89 x 77 = 82236
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/82236
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 58/12,552/89,486/308 is 2/82236
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 12,89,308 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,89,308) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(12,89,308) x common factors =1 x 4 = 4
LCM(12,89,308) = ( 12 × 89 × 308 ) / 4
LCM(12,89,308) = 328944 / 4
LCM(12,89,308) = 82236
