So the greatest common factor 978,618,437 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 894,478,666
2 | 894, 478, 666 |
3 | 447, 239, 333 |
149, 239, 111 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 149 x 239 x 111 = 23716926
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/23716926
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 978/894,618/478,437/666 is 1/23716926
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 894,478,666 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(894,478,666) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(894,478,666) x common factors =2 x 6 = 12
LCM(894,478,666) = ( 894 × 478 × 666 ) / 12
LCM(894,478,666) = 284603112 / 12
LCM(894,478,666) = 23716926
