1,2,4,8,47,94,188,376
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 125,290,376 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 125,290,376 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,74,901
2 | 42, 74, 901 |
21, 37, 901 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 21 x 37 x 901 = 1400154
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1400154
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 125/42,290/74,376/901 is 1/1400154
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 42,74,901 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,74,901) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(42,74,901) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(42,74,901) = ( 42 × 74 × 901 ) / 2
LCM(42,74,901) = 2800308 / 2
LCM(42,74,901) = 1400154
