Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 118,704,851 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 118,704,851 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 74,36,388
2 | 74, 36, 388 |
2 | 37, 18, 194 |
37, 9, 97 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 37 x 9 x 97 = 129204
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/129204
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 118/74,704/36,851/388 is 1/129204
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 74,36,388 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(74,36,388) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(74,36,388) x common factors =2 x 4 = 8
LCM(74,36,388) = ( 74 × 36 × 388 ) / 8
LCM(74,36,388) = 1033632 / 8
LCM(74,36,388) = 129204
