Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 159,999,763 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 159,999,763 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,39,412
2 | 72, 39, 412 |
2 | 36, 39, 206 |
3 | 18, 39, 103 |
6, 13, 103 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 6 x 13 x 103 = 96408
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/96408
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 159/72,999/39,763/412 is 1/96408
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 72,39,412 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,39,412) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 12
GCF(72,39,412) x common factors =1 x 12 = 12
LCM(72,39,412) = ( 72 × 39 × 412 ) / 12
LCM(72,39,412) = 1156896 / 12
LCM(72,39,412) = 96408
