Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 285,726,731 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 285,726,731 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 58,19,642
2 | 58, 19, 642 |
29, 19, 321 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 29 x 19 x 321 = 353742
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/353742
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 285/58,726/19,731/642 is 1/353742
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 58,19,642 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(58,19,642) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(58,19,642) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(58,19,642) = ( 58 × 19 × 642 ) / 2
LCM(58,19,642) = 707484 / 2
LCM(58,19,642) = 353742
