Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7,62,11,956 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7,62,11,956 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,18,648,897
2 | 12, 18, 648, 897 |
2 | 6, 9, 324, 897 |
3 | 3, 9, 162, 897 |
3 | 1, 3, 54, 299 |
1, 1, 18, 299 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 1 x 1 x 18 x 299 = 193752
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/193752
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7/12,62/18,11/648,956/897 is 1/193752
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 12,18,648,897 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,18,648,897) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 216
GCF(12,18,648,897) x common factors =3 x 216 = 648
LCM(12,18,648,897) = ( 12 × 18 × 648 × 897 ) / 648
LCM(12,18,648,897) = 125551296 / 648
LCM(12,18,648,897) = 193752
