Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 214,657 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 214,657 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 30,496
2 | 30, 496 |
15, 248 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 15 x 248 = 7440
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/7440
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 214/30,657/496 is 1/7440
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 30,496 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(30,496) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(30,496) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(30,496) = ( 30 × 496 ) / 2
LCM(30,496) = 14880 / 2
LCM(30,496) = 7440
