:1,2,3,4,6,12,71,142,213,284,426,852
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 84,36,852 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 84,36,852 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 414,131,564
2 | 414, 131, 564 |
3 | 207, 131, 282 |
69, 131, 94 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 69 x 131 x 94 = 5097996
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/5097996
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 84/414,36/131,852/564 is 12/5097996
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 414,131,564 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(414,131,564) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(414,131,564) x common factors =1 x 6 = 6
LCM(414,131,564) = ( 414 × 131 × 564 ) / 6
LCM(414,131,564) = 30587976 / 6
LCM(414,131,564) = 5097996
