We found the factors 21,46,312 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 21,46,312 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 711,914,594
2 | 711, 914, 594 |
3 | 711, 457, 297 |
3 | 237, 457, 99 |
79, 457, 33 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 79 x 457 x 33 = 21445182
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/21445182
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 21/711,46/914,312/594 is 1/21445182
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 711,914,594 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(711,914,594) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 18
GCF(711,914,594) x common factors =1 x 18 = 18
LCM(711,914,594) = ( 711 × 914 × 594 ) / 18
LCM(711,914,594) = 386013276 / 18
LCM(711,914,594) = 21445182
