Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 61,281,298 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 61,281,298 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 49,18,356
2 | 49, 18, 356 |
49, 9, 178 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 49 x 9 x 178 = 156996
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/156996
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 61/49,281/18,298/356 is 1/156996
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 49,18,356 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(49,18,356) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(49,18,356) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(49,18,356) = ( 49 × 18 × 356 ) / 2
LCM(49,18,356) = 313992 / 2
LCM(49,18,356) = 156996
