Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 36,71,501 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 36,71,501 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 174,754,974
2 | 174, 754, 974 |
29 | 87, 377, 487 |
3, 13, 487 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 29 x 3 x 13 x 487 = 1101594
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1101594
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 36/174,71/754,501/974 is 1/1101594
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 174,754,974 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(174,754,974) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 58
GCF(174,754,974) x common factors =2 x 58 = 116
LCM(174,754,974) = ( 174 × 754 × 974 ) / 116
LCM(174,754,974) = 127784904 / 116
LCM(174,754,974) = 1101594
