Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 78,141,874 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 78,141,874 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 50,34,256
2 | 50, 34, 256 |
25, 17, 128 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 25 x 17 x 128 = 108800
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/108800
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 78/50,141/34,874/256 is 1/108800
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 50,34,256 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(50,34,256) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(50,34,256) x common factors =2 x 2 = 4
LCM(50,34,256) = ( 50 × 34 × 256 ) / 4
LCM(50,34,256) = 435200 / 4
LCM(50,34,256) = 108800
