Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 288,865,255 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 288,865,255 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 51,98,742
2 | 51, 98, 742 |
7 | 51, 49, 371 |
51, 7, 53 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 7 x 51 x 7 x 53 = 264894
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/264894
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 288/51,865/98,255/742 is 1/264894
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 51,98,742 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(51,98,742) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 14
GCF(51,98,742) x common factors =1 x 14 = 14
LCM(51,98,742) = ( 51 × 98 × 742 ) / 14
LCM(51,98,742) = 3708516 / 14
LCM(51,98,742) = 264894
