So the greatest common factor 64,72,694 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 177,114,649
3 | 177, 114, 649 |
59 | 59, 38, 649 |
1, 38, 11 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 59 x 1 x 38 x 11 = 73986
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/73986
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 64/177,72/114,694/649 is 2/73986
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 177,114,649 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(177,114,649) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 177
GCF(177,114,649) x common factors =1 x 177 = 177
LCM(177,114,649) = ( 177 × 114 × 649 ) / 177
LCM(177,114,649) = 13095522 / 177
LCM(177,114,649) = 73986
