Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 59,163,971 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 59,163,971 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 37,72,404
2 | 37, 72, 404 |
2 | 37, 36, 202 |
37, 18, 101 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 37 x 18 x 101 = 269064
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/269064
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 59/37,163/72,971/404 is 1/269064
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 37,72,404 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(37,72,404) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(37,72,404) x common factors =1 x 4 = 4
LCM(37,72,404) = ( 37 × 72 × 404 ) / 4
LCM(37,72,404) = 1076256 / 4
LCM(37,72,404) = 269064
