We found the factors 595,465,940 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 595,465,940 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 76,98,71
2 | 76, 98, 71 |
38, 49, 71 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 38 x 49 x 71 = 264404
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/264404
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 595/76,465/98,940/71 is 5/264404
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 76,98,71 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(76,98,71) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(76,98,71) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(76,98,71) = ( 76 × 98 × 71 ) / 2
LCM(76,98,71) = 528808 / 2
LCM(76,98,71) = 264404
