Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 74,184,346 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 74,184,346 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 66,29,149
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 285186
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/285186
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 74/66,184/29,346/149 is 2/285186
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 66,29,149 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(66,29,149) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(66,29,149) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(66,29,149) = ( 66 × 29 × 149 ) / 1
LCM(66,29,149) = 285186 / 1
LCM(66,29,149) = 285186
