So the greatest common factor 78,156,640 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 49,34,426
2 | 49, 34, 426 |
49, 17, 213 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 49 x 17 x 213 = 354858
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/354858
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 78/49,156/34,640/426 is 2/354858
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 49,34,426 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(49,34,426) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(49,34,426) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(49,34,426) = ( 49 × 34 × 426 ) / 2
LCM(49,34,426) = 709716 / 2
LCM(49,34,426) = 354858
