So the greatest common factor 70,72,838 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 979,847,660
11 | 979, 847, 660 |
89, 77, 60 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 89 x 77 x 60 = 4522980
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/4522980
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 70/979,72/847,838/660 is 2/4522980
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 979,847,660 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(979,847,660) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 11
GCF(979,847,660) x common factors =11 x 11 = 121
LCM(979,847,660) = ( 979 × 847 × 660 ) / 121
LCM(979,847,660) = 547280580 / 121
LCM(979,847,660) = 4522980
