Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 199,288,724 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 199,288,724 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 20,78,71
2 | 20, 78, 71 |
10, 39, 71 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 10 x 39 x 71 = 55380
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/55380
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 199/20,288/78,724/71 is 1/55380
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 20,78,71 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(20,78,71) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(20,78,71) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(20,78,71) = ( 20 × 78 × 71 ) / 2
LCM(20,78,71) = 110760 / 2
LCM(20,78,71) = 55380
