Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 79,228,160 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 79,228,160 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 31,26,740
2 | 31, 26, 740 |
31, 13, 370 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 31 x 13 x 370 = 298220
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/298220
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 79/31,228/26,160/740 is 1/298220
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 31,26,740 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(31,26,740) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(31,26,740) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(31,26,740) = ( 31 × 26 × 740 ) / 2
LCM(31,26,740) = 596440 / 2
LCM(31,26,740) = 298220
