Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 43,237,697 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 43,237,697 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,30,601
2 | 12, 30, 601 |
3 | 6, 15, 601 |
2, 5, 601 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 2 x 5 x 601 = 36060
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/36060
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 43/12,237/30,697/601 is 1/36060
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 12,30,601 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,30,601) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(12,30,601) x common factors =1 x 6 = 6
LCM(12,30,601) = ( 12 × 30 × 601 ) / 6
LCM(12,30,601) = 216360 / 6
LCM(12,30,601) = 36060
