So the greatest common factor 73,46,707 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 396,266,672
2 | 396, 266, 672 |
2 | 198, 133, 336 |
3 | 99, 133, 168 |
7 | 33, 133, 56 |
33, 19, 8 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 33 x 19 x 8 = 421344
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/421344
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 73/396,46/266,707/672 is 1/421344
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 396,266,672 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(396,266,672) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 84
GCF(396,266,672) x common factors =2 x 84 = 168
LCM(396,266,672) = ( 396 × 266 × 672 ) / 168
LCM(396,266,672) = 70785792 / 168
LCM(396,266,672) = 421344
