Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 18,782,252 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 18,782,252 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 494,258,709
2 | 494, 258, 709 |
247, 129, 709 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 247 x 129 x 709 = 45181734
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/45181734
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 18/494,782/258,252/709 is 2/45181734
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 494,258,709 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(494,258,709) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(494,258,709) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(494,258,709) = ( 494 × 258 × 709 ) / 2
LCM(494,258,709) = 90363468 / 2
LCM(494,258,709) = 45181734
