Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 36,92,762 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 36,92,762 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 887,378,240
2 | 887, 378, 240 |
3 | 887, 189, 120 |
887, 63, 40 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 887 x 63 x 40 = 13411440
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/13411440
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 36/887,92/378,762/240 is 2/13411440
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 887,378,240 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(887,378,240) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(887,378,240) x common factors =1 x 6 = 6
LCM(887,378,240) = ( 887 × 378 × 240 ) / 6
LCM(887,378,240) = 80468640 / 6
LCM(887,378,240) = 13411440
