Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 273,736,659 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 273,736,659 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 18,51,37
3 | 18, 51, 37 |
6, 17, 37 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 6 x 17 x 37 = 11322
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/11322
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 273/18,736/51,659/37 is 1/11322
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 18,51,37 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(18,51,37) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(18,51,37) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(18,51,37) = ( 18 × 51 × 37 ) / 3
LCM(18,51,37) = 33966 / 3
LCM(18,51,37) = 11322
