Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 144,187,402 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 144,187,402 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 94,26,884
2 | 94, 26, 884 |
13 | 47, 13, 442 |
47, 1, 34 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 13 x 47 x 1 x 34 = 41548
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/41548
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 144/94,187/26,402/884 is 1/41548
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 94,26,884 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(94,26,884) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 26
GCF(94,26,884) x common factors =2 x 26 = 52
LCM(94,26,884) = ( 94 × 26 × 884 ) / 52
LCM(94,26,884) = 2160496 / 52
LCM(94,26,884) = 41548
