Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 734,472,856 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 734,472,856 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 36,91,939
| 3 | 36, 91, 939 |
| 12, 91, 313 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 12 x 91 x 313 = 1025388
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1025388
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 734/36,472/91,856/939 is 2/1025388
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 36,91,939 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,91,939) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(36,91,939) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(36,91,939) = ( 36 × 91 × 939 ) / 3
LCM(36,91,939) = 3076164 / 3
LCM(36,91,939) = 1025388
