Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 28,72,664 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 28,72,664 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 59,59,477
59 | 59, 59, 477 |
1, 1, 477 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 59 x 1 x 1 x 477 = 28143
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/28143
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 28/59,72/59,664/477 is 4/28143
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 59,59,477 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(59,59,477) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 59
GCF(59,59,477) x common factors =1 x 59 = 59
LCM(59,59,477) = ( 59 × 59 × 477 ) / 59
LCM(59,59,477) = 1660437 / 59
LCM(59,59,477) = 28143
