Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 11,591,118 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 11,591,118 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 26,34,840
2 | 26, 34, 840 |
13, 17, 420 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 13 x 17 x 420 = 185640
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/185640
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 11/26,591/34,118/840 is 1/185640
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 26,34,840 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(26,34,840) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(26,34,840) x common factors =2 x 2 = 4
LCM(26,34,840) = ( 26 × 34 × 840 ) / 4
LCM(26,34,840) = 742560 / 4
LCM(26,34,840) = 185640
