So the greatest common factor 78,129,506 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 74,94,229
2 | 74, 94, 229 |
37, 47, 229 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 37 x 47 x 229 = 796462
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/796462
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 78/74,129/94,506/229 is 1/796462
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 74,94,229 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(74,94,229) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(74,94,229) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(74,94,229) = ( 74 × 94 × 229 ) / 2
LCM(74,94,229) = 1592924 / 2
LCM(74,94,229) = 796462
