Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 24,872,504 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 24,872,504 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 51,61,601
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1869711
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/1869711
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 24/51,872/61,504/601 is 8/1869711
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 51,61,601 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(51,61,601) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(51,61,601) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(51,61,601) = ( 51 × 61 × 601 ) / 1
LCM(51,61,601) = 1869711 / 1
LCM(51,61,601) = 1869711
