Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 21,55,435 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 21,55,435 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 954,298,236
2 | 954, 298, 236 |
477, 149, 118 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 477 x 149 x 118 = 16773228
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/16773228
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 21/954,55/298,435/236 is 1/16773228
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 954,298,236 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(954,298,236) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(954,298,236) x common factors =2 x 2 = 4
LCM(954,298,236) = ( 954 × 298 × 236 ) / 4
LCM(954,298,236) = 67092912 / 4
LCM(954,298,236) = 16773228
