So the greatest common factor 92,40,438 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 79,479,518
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 19601638
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/19601638
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 92/79,40/479,438/518 is 2/19601638
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 79,479,518 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(79,479,518) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(79,479,518) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(79,479,518) = ( 79 × 479 × 518 ) / 1
LCM(79,479,518) = 19601638 / 1
LCM(79,479,518) = 19601638
