So the greatest common factor 61,142,242 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 295,855,661
5 | 295, 855, 661 |
59, 171, 661 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 59 x 171 x 661 = 33344145
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/33344145
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 61/295,142/855,242/661 is 1/33344145
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 295,855,661 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(295,855,661) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 5
GCF(295,855,661) x common factors =1 x 5 = 5
LCM(295,855,661) = ( 295 × 855 × 661 ) / 5
LCM(295,855,661) = 166720725 / 5
LCM(295,855,661) = 33344145
