:1,971
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 40,60,971 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 40,60,971 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 56,966,602
2 | 56, 966, 602 |
7 | 28, 483, 301 |
4, 69, 43 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 7 x 4 x 69 x 43 = 166152
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/166152
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 40/56,60/966,971/602 is 1/166152
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 56,966,602 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(56,966,602) = 14
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 14
GCF(56,966,602) x common factors =14 x 14 = 196
LCM(56,966,602) = ( 56 × 966 × 602 ) / 196
LCM(56,966,602) = 32565792 / 196
LCM(56,966,602) = 166152
