So the greatest common factor 68,636,978 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 170,484,867
2 | 170, 484, 867 |
17 | 85, 242, 867 |
5, 242, 51 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 17 x 5 x 242 x 51 = 2098140
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2098140
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 68/170,636/484,978/867 is 2/2098140
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 170,484,867 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(170,484,867) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 34
GCF(170,484,867) x common factors =1 x 34 = 34
LCM(170,484,867) = ( 170 × 484 × 867 ) / 34
LCM(170,484,867) = 71336760 / 34
LCM(170,484,867) = 2098140
