Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 895,971,996 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 895,971,996 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 678,242,959
2 | 678, 242, 959 |
339, 121, 959 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 339 x 121 x 959 = 78674442
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/78674442
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 895/678,971/242,996/959 is 1/78674442
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 678,242,959 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(678,242,959) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(678,242,959) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(678,242,959) = ( 678 × 242 × 959 ) / 2
LCM(678,242,959) = 157348884 / 2
LCM(678,242,959) = 78674442
