Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 285,338,253 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 285,338,253 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 24,74,159
2 | 24, 74, 159 |
3 | 12, 37, 159 |
4, 37, 53 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 4 x 37 x 53 = 47064
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/47064
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 285/24,338/74,253/159 is 1/47064
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 24,74,159 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(24,74,159) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(24,74,159) x common factors =1 x 6 = 6
LCM(24,74,159) = ( 24 × 74 × 159 ) / 6
LCM(24,74,159) = 282384 / 6
LCM(24,74,159) = 47064
