Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 56,266,242 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 56,266,242 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 349,402,262
2 | 349, 402, 262 |
349, 201, 131 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 349 x 201 x 131 = 18379038
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/18379038
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 56/349,266/402,242/262 is 2/18379038
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 349,402,262 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(349,402,262) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(349,402,262) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(349,402,262) = ( 349 × 402 × 262 ) / 2
LCM(349,402,262) = 36758076 / 2
LCM(349,402,262) = 18379038
