Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 74,724,162 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 74,724,162 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 273,406,987
3 | 273, 406, 987 |
7 | 91, 406, 329 |
13, 58, 47 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 7 x 13 x 58 x 47 = 744198
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/744198
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 74/273,724/406,162/987 is 2/744198
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 273,406,987 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(273,406,987) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 21
GCF(273,406,987) x common factors =7 x 21 = 147
LCM(273,406,987) = ( 273 × 406 × 987 ) / 147
LCM(273,406,987) = 109397106 / 147
LCM(273,406,987) = 744198
