1,2,4,7,14,17,28,34,68,119,238,476
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 18,142,476 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 18,142,476 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 30,17,727
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 370770
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/370770
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 18/30,142/17,476/727 is 2/370770
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 30,17,727 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(30,17,727) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(30,17,727) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(30,17,727) = ( 30 × 17 × 727 ) / 1
LCM(30,17,727) = 370770 / 1
LCM(30,17,727) = 370770
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
