Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 12,243,867 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 12,243,867 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 704,400,692
2 | 704, 400, 692 |
2 | 352, 200, 346 |
2 | 176, 100, 173 |
2 | 88, 50, 173 |
44, 25, 173 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 44 x 25 x 173 = 3044800
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/3044800
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 12/704,243/400,867/692 is 3/3044800
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 704,400,692 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(704,400,692) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 16
GCF(704,400,692) x common factors =4 x 16 = 64
LCM(704,400,692) = ( 704 × 400 × 692 ) / 64
LCM(704,400,692) = 194867200 / 64
LCM(704,400,692) = 3044800
