Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 53,18,274 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 53,18,274 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 372,465,686
2 | 372, 465, 686 |
3 | 186, 465, 343 |
31 | 62, 155, 343 |
2, 5, 343 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 31 x 2 x 5 x 343 = 637980
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/637980
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 53/372,18/465,274/686 is 1/637980
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 372,465,686 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(372,465,686) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 186
GCF(372,465,686) x common factors =1 x 186 = 186
LCM(372,465,686) = ( 372 × 465 × 686 ) / 186
LCM(372,465,686) = 118664280 / 186
LCM(372,465,686) = 637980
