Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 284,558,146 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 284,558,146 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 16,58,318
2 | 16, 58, 318 |
8, 29, 159 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 8 x 29 x 159 = 73776
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/73776
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 284/16,558/58,146/318 is 2/73776
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 16,58,318 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(16,58,318) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(16,58,318) x common factors =2 x 2 = 4
LCM(16,58,318) = ( 16 × 58 × 318 ) / 4
LCM(16,58,318) = 295104 / 4
LCM(16,58,318) = 73776
