So the greatest common factor 96,98,598 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 231,558,578
2 | 231, 558, 578 |
3 | 231, 279, 289 |
77, 93, 289 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 77 x 93 x 289 = 12417174
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/12417174
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 96/231,98/558,598/578 is 2/12417174
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 231,558,578 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(231,558,578) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(231,558,578) x common factors =1 x 6 = 6
LCM(231,558,578) = ( 231 × 558 × 578 ) / 6
LCM(231,558,578) = 74503044 / 6
LCM(231,558,578) = 12417174
