Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 20,772,461 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 20,772,461 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 356,558,712
2 | 356, 558, 712 |
2 | 178, 279, 356 |
89 | 89, 279, 178 |
1, 279, 2 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 89 x 1 x 279 x 2 = 198648
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/198648
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 20/356,772/558,461/712 is 1/198648
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 356,558,712 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(356,558,712) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 356
GCF(356,558,712) x common factors =2 x 356 = 712
LCM(356,558,712) = ( 356 × 558 × 712 ) / 712
LCM(356,558,712) = 141437376 / 712
LCM(356,558,712) = 198648
