Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 72,24,710 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 72,24,710 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 260,794,409
2 | 260, 794, 409 |
130, 397, 409 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 130 x 397 x 409 = 42216980
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/42216980
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 72/260,24/794,710/409 is 2/42216980
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 260,794,409 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(260,794,409) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(260,794,409) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(260,794,409) = ( 260 × 794 × 409 ) / 2
LCM(260,794,409) = 84433960 / 2
LCM(260,794,409) = 42216980
