1,2,4,139,278,556
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 142,843,556 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 142,843,556 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 82,22,71
2 | 82, 22, 71 |
41, 11, 71 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 41 x 11 x 71 = 64042
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/64042
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 142/82,843/22,556/71 is 1/64042
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 82,22,71 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(82,22,71) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(82,22,71) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(82,22,71) = ( 82 × 22 × 71 ) / 2
LCM(82,22,71) = 128084 / 2
LCM(82,22,71) = 64042
