So the greatest common factor 58,178,586 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 16,78,387
2 | 16, 78, 387 |
3 | 8, 39, 387 |
8, 13, 129 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 8 x 13 x 129 = 80496
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/80496
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 58/16,178/78,586/387 is 2/80496
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 16,78,387 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(16,78,387) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(16,78,387) x common factors =1 x 6 = 6
LCM(16,78,387) = ( 16 × 78 × 387 ) / 6
LCM(16,78,387) = 482976 / 6
LCM(16,78,387) = 80496
