:1,2,4,101,202,404
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 96,246,404 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 96,246,404 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 74,71,248
2 | 74, 71, 248 |
37, 71, 124 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 37 x 71 x 124 = 651496
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/651496
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 96/74,246/71,404/248 is 2/651496
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 74,71,248 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(74,71,248) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(74,71,248) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(74,71,248) = ( 74 × 71 × 248 ) / 2
LCM(74,71,248) = 1302992 / 2
LCM(74,71,248) = 651496
