Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 37,73,259 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 37,73,259 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 506,776,609
2 | 506, 776, 609 |
253, 388, 609 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 253 x 388 x 609 = 119563752
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/119563752
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 37/506,73/776,259/609 is 1/119563752
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 506,776,609 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(506,776,609) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(506,776,609) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(506,776,609) = ( 506 × 776 × 609 ) / 2
LCM(506,776,609) = 239127504 / 2
LCM(506,776,609) = 119563752
