Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 74,458,178 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 74,458,178 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 95,59,786
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4405530
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/4405530
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 74/95,458/59,178/786 is 2/4405530
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 95,59,786 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(95,59,786) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(95,59,786) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(95,59,786) = ( 95 × 59 × 786 ) / 1
LCM(95,59,786) = 4405530 / 1
LCM(95,59,786) = 4405530
