Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 56,322,697 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 56,322,697 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 78,74,241
2 | 78, 74, 241 |
39, 37, 241 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 39 x 37 x 241 = 695526
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/695526
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 56/78,322/74,697/241 is 1/695526
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 78,74,241 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(78,74,241) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(78,74,241) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(78,74,241) = ( 78 × 74 × 241 ) / 2
LCM(78,74,241) = 1391052 / 2
LCM(78,74,241) = 695526
