So the greatest common factor 74,42,849 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 326,481,247
13 | 326, 481, 247 |
326, 37, 19 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 13 x 326 x 37 x 19 = 2979314
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2979314
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 74/326,42/481,849/247 is 1/2979314
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 326,481,247 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(326,481,247) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 13
GCF(326,481,247) x common factors =1 x 13 = 13
LCM(326,481,247) = ( 326 × 481 × 247 ) / 13
LCM(326,481,247) = 38731082 / 13
LCM(326,481,247) = 2979314
