:1,643
Now, list down the factors of 131
:1,131
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 36,643,131 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 36,643,131 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 74,77,812
2 | 74, 77, 812 |
7 | 37, 77, 406 |
37, 11, 58 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 7 x 37 x 11 x 58 = 330484
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/330484
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 36/74,643/77,131/812 is 1/330484
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 74,77,812 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(74,77,812) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 14
GCF(74,77,812) x common factors =1 x 14 = 14
LCM(74,77,812) = ( 74 × 77 × 812 ) / 14
LCM(74,77,812) = 4626776 / 14
LCM(74,77,812) = 330484
