Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 211,178,653 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 211,178,653 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 18,42,638
2 | 18, 42, 638 |
3 | 9, 21, 319 |
3, 7, 319 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 7 x 319 = 40194
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/40194
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 211/18,178/42,653/638 is 1/40194
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 18,42,638 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(18,42,638) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(18,42,638) x common factors =2 x 6 = 12
LCM(18,42,638) = ( 18 × 42 × 638 ) / 12
LCM(18,42,638) = 482328 / 12
LCM(18,42,638) = 40194
