:1,971
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 32,74,971 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 32,74,971 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 883,298,742
2 | 883, 298, 742 |
883, 149, 371 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 883 x 149 x 371 = 97622714
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/97622714
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 32/883,74/298,971/742 is 1/97622714
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 883,298,742 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(883,298,742) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(883,298,742) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(883,298,742) = ( 883 × 298 × 742 ) / 2
LCM(883,298,742) = 195245428 / 2
LCM(883,298,742) = 97622714
