Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 37,597,228 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 37,597,228 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 436,468,234
2 | 436, 468, 234 |
2 | 218, 234, 117 |
3 | 109, 117, 117 |
3 | 109, 39, 39 |
13 | 109, 13, 13 |
109, 1, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 13 x 109 x 1 x 1 = 51012
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/51012
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 37/436,597/468,228/234 is 1/51012
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 436,468,234 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(436,468,234) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 468
GCF(436,468,234) x common factors =2 x 468 = 936
LCM(436,468,234) = ( 436 × 468 × 234 ) / 936
LCM(436,468,234) = 47747232 / 936
LCM(436,468,234) = 51012
