Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 34,711,284 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 34,711,284 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 84,38,956
2 | 84, 38, 956 |
2 | 42, 19, 478 |
21, 19, 239 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 21 x 19 x 239 = 381444
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/381444
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 34/84,711/38,284/956 is 1/381444
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 84,38,956 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(84,38,956) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(84,38,956) x common factors =2 x 4 = 8
LCM(84,38,956) = ( 84 × 38 × 956 ) / 8
LCM(84,38,956) = 3051552 / 8
LCM(84,38,956) = 381444
