Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8,472,158 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8,472,158 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 34,56,47
2 | 34, 56, 47 |
17, 28, 47 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 17 x 28 x 47 = 44744
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/44744
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8/34,472/56,158/47 is 2/44744
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 34,56,47 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(34,56,47) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(34,56,47) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(34,56,47) = ( 34 × 56 × 47 ) / 2
LCM(34,56,47) = 89488 / 2
LCM(34,56,47) = 44744
