Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 72,98,773 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 72,98,773 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 451,154,372
2 | 451, 154, 372 |
11 | 451, 77, 186 |
41, 7, 186 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 11 x 41 x 7 x 186 = 1174404
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1174404
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 72/451,98/154,773/372 is 1/1174404
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 451,154,372 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(451,154,372) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 22
GCF(451,154,372) x common factors =1 x 22 = 22
LCM(451,154,372) = ( 451 × 154 × 372 ) / 22
LCM(451,154,372) = 25836888 / 22
LCM(451,154,372) = 1174404
