So the greatest common factor 78,64,971 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 992,722,589
2 | 992, 722, 589 |
19 | 496, 361, 589 |
31 | 496, 19, 31 |
16, 19, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 19 x 31 x 16 x 19 x 1 = 358112
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/358112
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 78/992,64/722,971/589 is 1/358112
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 992,722,589 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(992,722,589) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1178
GCF(992,722,589) x common factors =1 x 1178 = 1178
LCM(992,722,589) = ( 992 × 722 × 589 ) / 1178
LCM(992,722,589) = 421855936 / 1178
LCM(992,722,589) = 358112
