Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 14,39,157 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 14,39,157 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 121,968,993
11 | 121, 968, 993 |
11 | 11, 88, 993 |
1, 8, 993 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 11 x 1 x 8 x 993 = 961224
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/961224
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 14/121,39/968,157/993 is 1/961224
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 121,968,993 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(121,968,993) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 121
GCF(121,968,993) x common factors =1 x 121 = 121
LCM(121,968,993) = ( 121 × 968 × 993 ) / 121
LCM(121,968,993) = 116308104 / 121
LCM(121,968,993) = 961224
