1,2,4,103,206,412
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 116,600,412 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 116,600,412 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 37,56,15
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 31080
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/31080
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 116/37,600/56,412/15 is 4/31080
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 37,56,15 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(37,56,15) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(37,56,15) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(37,56,15) = ( 37 × 56 × 15 ) / 1
LCM(37,56,15) = 31080 / 1
LCM(37,56,15) = 31080
