So the greatest common factor 78,739,352 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 99,36,378
2 | 99, 36, 378 |
3 | 99, 18, 189 |
3 | 33, 6, 63 |
11, 2, 21 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 11 x 2 x 21 = 8316
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/8316
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 78/99,739/36,352/378 is 1/8316
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 99,36,378 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(99,36,378) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 18
GCF(99,36,378) x common factors =9 x 18 = 162
LCM(99,36,378) = ( 99 × 36 × 378 ) / 162
LCM(99,36,378) = 1347192 / 162
LCM(99,36,378) = 8316
