So the greatest common factor 62,238,166 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 29,98,498
2 | 29, 98, 498 |
29, 49, 249 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 29 x 49 x 249 = 707658
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/707658
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 62/29,238/98,166/498 is 2/707658
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 29,98,498 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(29,98,498) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(29,98,498) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(29,98,498) = ( 29 × 98 × 498 ) / 2
LCM(29,98,498) = 1415316 / 2
LCM(29,98,498) = 707658
