Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 72,890,236 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 72,890,236 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 513,763,402
| 3 | 513, 763, 402 |
| 171, 763, 134 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 171 x 763 x 134 = 52450146
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/52450146
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 72/513,890/763,236/402 is 2/52450146
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 513,763,402 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(513,763,402) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(513,763,402) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(513,763,402) = ( 513 × 763 × 402 ) / 3
LCM(513,763,402) = 157350438 / 3
LCM(513,763,402) = 52450146
