Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 54,84,261 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 54,84,261 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 702,171,304
2 | 702, 171, 304 |
3 | 351, 171, 152 |
3 | 117, 57, 152 |
19 | 39, 19, 152 |
39, 1, 8 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 19 x 39 x 1 x 8 = 106704
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/106704
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 54/702,84/171,261/304 is 3/106704
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 702,171,304 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(702,171,304) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 342
GCF(702,171,304) x common factors =1 x 342 = 342
LCM(702,171,304) = ( 702 × 171 × 304 ) / 342
LCM(702,171,304) = 36492768 / 342
LCM(702,171,304) = 106704
