LCM of 55,38,726 is 68970 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 18,635,737
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 18
List of positive integer factors of 18 that divides 18 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,9,18
Factors of 635
List of positive integer factors of 635 that divides 635 without a remainder.
1,5,127,635
Factors of 737
List of positive integer factors of 737 that divides 737 without a remainder.
1,11,67,737
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 18,635,737 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 18,635,737 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 55,38,726
2 | 55, 38, 726 |
11 | 55, 19, 363 |
5, 19, 33 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 11 x 5 x 19 x 33 = 68970
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/68970
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 18/55,635/38,737/726 is 1/68970
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 55,38,726 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(55,38,726) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 22
GCF(55,38,726) x common factors =1 x 22 = 22
LCM(55,38,726) = ( 55 × 38 × 726 ) / 22
LCM(55,38,726) = 1517340 / 22
LCM(55,38,726) = 68970
