Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 35,822,538 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 35,822,538 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 24,72,705
2 | 24, 72, 705 |
2 | 12, 36, 705 |
2 | 6, 18, 705 |
3 | 3, 9, 705 |
1, 3, 235 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 1 x 3 x 235 = 16920
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/16920
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 35/24,822/72,538/705 is 1/16920
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 24,72,705 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(24,72,705) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 24
GCF(24,72,705) x common factors =3 x 24 = 72
LCM(24,72,705) = ( 24 × 72 × 705 ) / 72
LCM(24,72,705) = 1218240 / 72
LCM(24,72,705) = 16920
