So the greatest common factor 79,68,406 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 457,148,552
2 | 457, 148, 552 |
2 | 457, 74, 276 |
457, 37, 138 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 457 x 37 x 138 = 9333768
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/9333768
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 79/457,68/148,406/552 is 1/9333768
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 457,148,552 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(457,148,552) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(457,148,552) x common factors =1 x 4 = 4
LCM(457,148,552) = ( 457 × 148 × 552 ) / 4
LCM(457,148,552) = 37335072 / 4
LCM(457,148,552) = 9333768
