Lets's calculate GCF of 4,13,73
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 4
:1,2,4
Now, list down the factors of 13
:1,13
Now, list down the factors of 73
:1,73
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4,13,73 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4,13,73 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 18,407,982
2 | 18, 407, 982 |
9, 407, 491 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 9 x 407 x 491 = 3597066
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3597066
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4/18,13/407,73/982 is 1/3597066
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 18,407,982 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(18,407,982) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(18,407,982) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(18,407,982) = ( 18 × 407 × 982 ) / 2
LCM(18,407,982) = 7194132 / 2
LCM(18,407,982) = 3597066
