Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 52,963,336 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 52,963,336 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,40,844
2 | 72, 40, 844 |
2 | 36, 20, 422 |
2 | 18, 10, 211 |
9, 5, 211 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 9 x 5 x 211 = 75960
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/75960
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 52/72,963/40,336/844 is 1/75960
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 72,40,844 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,40,844) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 8
GCF(72,40,844) x common factors =4 x 8 = 32
LCM(72,40,844) = ( 72 × 40 × 844 ) / 32
LCM(72,40,844) = 2430720 / 32
LCM(72,40,844) = 75960
