Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 13,37,124 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 13,37,124 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 168,586,428
2 | 168, 586, 428 |
2 | 84, 293, 214 |
42, 293, 107 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 42 x 293 x 107 = 5266968
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5266968
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 13/168,37/586,124/428 is 1/5266968
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 168,586,428 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(168,586,428) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(168,586,428) x common factors =2 x 4 = 8
LCM(168,586,428) = ( 168 × 586 × 428 ) / 8
LCM(168,586,428) = 42135744 / 8
LCM(168,586,428) = 5266968
