Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 24,496,974 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 24,496,974 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 28,59,891
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1471932
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1471932
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 24/28,496/59,974/891 is 2/1471932
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 28,59,891 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(28,59,891) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(28,59,891) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(28,59,891) = ( 28 × 59 × 891 ) / 1
LCM(28,59,891) = 1471932 / 1
LCM(28,59,891) = 1471932
