Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 31,15,486 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 31,15,486 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 222,642,999
2 | 222, 642, 999 |
3 | 111, 321, 999 |
37 | 37, 107, 333 |
1, 107, 9 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 37 x 1 x 107 x 9 = 213786
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/213786
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 31/222,15/642,486/999 is 1/213786
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 222,642,999 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(222,642,999) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 222
GCF(222,642,999) x common factors =3 x 222 = 666
LCM(222,642,999) = ( 222 × 642 × 999 ) / 666
LCM(222,642,999) = 142381476 / 666
LCM(222,642,999) = 213786
