Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 188,395,249 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 188,395,249 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 316,457,956
2 | 316, 457, 956 |
2 | 158, 457, 478 |
79, 457, 239 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 79 x 457 x 239 = 34514468
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/34514468
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 188/316,395/457,249/956 is 1/34514468
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 316,457,956 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(316,457,956) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(316,457,956) x common factors =1 x 4 = 4
LCM(316,457,956) = ( 316 × 457 × 956 ) / 4
LCM(316,457,956) = 138057872 / 4
LCM(316,457,956) = 34514468
