Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 16,916,430 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 16,916,430 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 64,84,896
2 | 64, 84, 896 |
2 | 32, 42, 448 |
2 | 16, 21, 224 |
2 | 8, 21, 112 |
2 | 4, 21, 56 |
2 | 2, 21, 28 |
7 | 1, 21, 14 |
1, 3, 2 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 7 x 1 x 3 x 2 = 2688
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2688
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 16/64,916/84,430/896 is 2/2688
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 64,84,896 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(64,84,896) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 448
GCF(64,84,896) x common factors =4 x 448 = 1792
LCM(64,84,896) = ( 64 × 84 × 896 ) / 1792
LCM(64,84,896) = 4816896 / 1792
LCM(64,84,896) = 2688
