Lets's calculate LCM of 738,459
3 | 738, 459 |
3 | 246, 153 |
82, 51 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 82 x 51 = 37638
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/37638
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 859/738,400/459 is 1/37638
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 738,459 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(738,459) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(738,459) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(738,459) = ( 738 × 459 ) / 9
LCM(738,459) = 338742 / 9
LCM(738,459) = 37638
