So the greatest common factor 94,72,326 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 378,304,882
2 | 378, 304, 882 |
3 | 189, 152, 441 |
3 | 63, 152, 147 |
7 | 21, 152, 49 |
3, 152, 7 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 7 x 3 x 152 x 7 = 402192
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/402192
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 94/378,72/304,326/882 is 2/402192
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 378,304,882 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(378,304,882) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 126
GCF(378,304,882) x common factors =2 x 126 = 252
LCM(378,304,882) = ( 378 × 304 × 882 ) / 252
LCM(378,304,882) = 101352384 / 252
LCM(378,304,882) = 402192
