Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 46,80,654 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 46,80,654 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 408,153,978
2 | 408, 153, 978 |
3 | 204, 153, 489 |
17 | 68, 51, 163 |
4, 3, 163 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 17 x 4 x 3 x 163 = 199512
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/199512
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 46/408,80/153,654/978 is 2/199512
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 408,153,978 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(408,153,978) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 102
GCF(408,153,978) x common factors =3 x 102 = 306
LCM(408,153,978) = ( 408 × 153 × 978 ) / 306
LCM(408,153,978) = 61050672 / 306
LCM(408,153,978) = 199512
