Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 34,54,964 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 34,54,964 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 279,898,172
2 | 279, 898, 172 |
279, 449, 86 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 279 x 449 x 86 = 21546612
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/21546612
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 34/279,54/898,964/172 is 2/21546612
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 279,898,172 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(279,898,172) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(279,898,172) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(279,898,172) = ( 279 × 898 × 172 ) / 2
LCM(279,898,172) = 43093224 / 2
LCM(279,898,172) = 21546612
