Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 28,18,494 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 28,18,494 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 71,19,729
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 983421
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/983421
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 28/71,18/19,494/729 is 2/983421
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 71,19,729 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(71,19,729) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(71,19,729) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(71,19,729) = ( 71 × 19 × 729 ) / 1
LCM(71,19,729) = 983421 / 1
LCM(71,19,729) = 983421
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
