Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 29,72,604 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 29,72,604 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 182,243,356
2 | 182, 243, 356 |
91, 243, 178 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 91 x 243 x 178 = 7872228
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/7872228
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 29/182,72/243,604/356 is 1/7872228
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 182,243,356 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(182,243,356) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(182,243,356) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(182,243,356) = ( 182 × 243 × 356 ) / 2
LCM(182,243,356) = 15744456 / 2
LCM(182,243,356) = 7872228
