So the greatest common factor 972,332,235 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 918,780,136
2 | 918, 780, 136 |
2 | 459, 390, 68 |
3 | 459, 195, 34 |
17 | 153, 65, 34 |
9, 65, 2 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 17 x 9 x 65 x 2 = 238680
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/238680
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 972/918,332/780,235/136 is 1/238680
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 918,780,136 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(918,780,136) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 204
GCF(918,780,136) x common factors =2 x 204 = 408
LCM(918,780,136) = ( 918 × 780 × 136 ) / 408
LCM(918,780,136) = 97381440 / 408
LCM(918,780,136) = 238680
