Lets's calculate LCM of 624,909
3 | 624, 909 |
208, 303 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 208 x 303 = 189072
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/189072
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 762/624,879/909 is 3/189072
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 624,909 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(624,909) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(624,909) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(624,909) = ( 624 × 909 ) / 3
LCM(624,909) = 567216 / 3
LCM(624,909) = 189072
