Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 35,40,196 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 35,40,196 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 26,852,987
2 | 26, 852, 987 |
3 | 13, 426, 987 |
13, 142, 329 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 13 x 142 x 329 = 3644004
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3644004
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 35/26,40/852,196/987 is 1/3644004
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 26,852,987 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(26,852,987) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(26,852,987) x common factors =1 x 6 = 6
LCM(26,852,987) = ( 26 × 852 × 987 ) / 6
LCM(26,852,987) = 21864024 / 6
LCM(26,852,987) = 3644004
