Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 56,845,218 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 56,845,218 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,74,592
2 | 12, 74, 592 |
2 | 6, 37, 296 |
37 | 3, 37, 148 |
3, 1, 4 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 37 x 3 x 1 x 4 = 1776
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1776
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 56/12,845/74,218/592 is 1/1776
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 12,74,592 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,74,592) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 148
GCF(12,74,592) x common factors =2 x 148 = 296
LCM(12,74,592) = ( 12 × 74 × 592 ) / 296
LCM(12,74,592) = 525696 / 296
LCM(12,74,592) = 1776
