Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 20,666,639 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 20,666,639 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 784,320,984
2 | 784, 320, 984 |
2 | 392, 160, 492 |
2 | 196, 80, 246 |
2 | 98, 40, 123 |
49, 20, 123 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 49 x 20 x 123 = 1928640
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1928640
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 20/784,666/320,639/984 is 1/1928640
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 784,320,984 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(784,320,984) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 16
GCF(784,320,984) x common factors =8 x 16 = 128
LCM(784,320,984) = ( 784 × 320 × 984 ) / 128
LCM(784,320,984) = 246865920 / 128
LCM(784,320,984) = 1928640
