Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 86,176,172 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 86,176,172 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 458,907,924
2 | 458, 907, 924 |
229, 907, 462 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 229 x 907 x 462 = 191917572
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/191917572
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 86/458,176/907,172/924 is 2/191917572
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 458,907,924 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(458,907,924) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(458,907,924) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(458,907,924) = ( 458 × 907 × 924 ) / 2
LCM(458,907,924) = 383835144 / 2
LCM(458,907,924) = 191917572
