Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 66,664,138 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 66,664,138 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,28,983
2 | 72, 28, 983 |
2 | 36, 14, 983 |
18, 7, 983 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 18 x 7 x 983 = 495432
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/495432
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 66/72,664/28,138/983 is 2/495432
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 72,28,983 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,28,983) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(72,28,983) x common factors =1 x 4 = 4
LCM(72,28,983) = ( 72 × 28 × 983 ) / 4
LCM(72,28,983) = 1981728 / 4
LCM(72,28,983) = 495432
