Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 43,505,120 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 43,505,120 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 174,728,370
2 | 174, 728, 370 |
87, 364, 185 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 87 x 364 x 185 = 11717160
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/11717160
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 43/174,505/728,120/370 is 1/11717160
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 174,728,370 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(174,728,370) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(174,728,370) x common factors =2 x 2 = 4
LCM(174,728,370) = ( 174 × 728 × 370 ) / 4
LCM(174,728,370) = 46868640 / 4
LCM(174,728,370) = 11717160
