:1,2,3,6,113,226,339,678
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 23,501,678 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 23,501,678 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 84,40,661
2 | 84, 40, 661 |
2 | 42, 20, 661 |
21, 10, 661 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 21 x 10 x 661 = 555240
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/555240
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 23/84,501/40,678/661 is 1/555240
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 84,40,661 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(84,40,661) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(84,40,661) x common factors =1 x 4 = 4
LCM(84,40,661) = ( 84 × 40 × 661 ) / 4
LCM(84,40,661) = 2220960 / 4
LCM(84,40,661) = 555240
