:1,2,3,4,6,7,12,14,21,28,42,84
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 74,37,84 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 74,37,84 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 17,37,910
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 572390
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/572390
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 74/17,37/37,84/910 is 1/572390
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 17,37,910 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(17,37,910) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(17,37,910) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(17,37,910) = ( 17 × 37 × 910 ) / 1
LCM(17,37,910) = 572390 / 1
LCM(17,37,910) = 572390
