Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 52,368,712 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 52,368,712 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 73,27,851
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1677321
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/1677321
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 52/73,368/27,712/851 is 4/1677321
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 73,27,851 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(73,27,851) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(73,27,851) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(73,27,851) = ( 73 × 27 × 851 ) / 1
LCM(73,27,851) = 1677321 / 1
LCM(73,27,851) = 1677321
