Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 15,725,946 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 15,725,946 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,31,496
2 | 12, 31, 496 |
2 | 6, 31, 248 |
31 | 3, 31, 124 |
3, 1, 4 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 31 x 3 x 1 x 4 = 1488
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1488
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 15/12,725/31,946/496 is 1/1488
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 12,31,496 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,31,496) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 124
GCF(12,31,496) x common factors =1 x 124 = 124
LCM(12,31,496) = ( 12 × 31 × 496 ) / 124
LCM(12,31,496) = 184512 / 124
LCM(12,31,496) = 1488
