:1,3,13,23,39,69,299,897
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 277,897 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 277,897 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 58,946
2 | 58, 946 |
29, 473 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 29 x 473 = 27434
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/27434
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 277/58,897/946 is 1/27434
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 58,946 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(58,946) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(58,946) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(58,946) = ( 58 × 946 ) / 2
LCM(58,946) = 54868 / 2
LCM(58,946) = 27434
