1,2,4,8,11,16,22,32,44,88,176,352
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 17,72,352 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 17,72,352 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 22,28,456
2 | 22, 28, 456 |
2 | 11, 14, 228 |
11, 7, 114 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 11 x 7 x 114 = 35112
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/35112
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 17/22,72/28,352/456 is 1/35112
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 22,28,456 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(22,28,456) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(22,28,456) x common factors =2 x 4 = 8
LCM(22,28,456) = ( 22 × 28 × 456 ) / 8
LCM(22,28,456) = 280896 / 8
LCM(22,28,456) = 35112
