1,2,5,10,73,146,365,730
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 14,24,730 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 14,24,730 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,121,881
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7675272
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/7675272
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 14/72,24/121,730/881 is 2/7675272
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 72,121,881 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,121,881) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(72,121,881) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(72,121,881) = ( 72 × 121 × 881 ) / 1
LCM(72,121,881) = 7675272 / 1
LCM(72,121,881) = 7675272
