1,2,3,4,6,12,53,106,159,212,318,636
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3,17,18,636 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3,17,18,636 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 29,71,218,889
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 399038318
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/399038318
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3/29,17/71,18/218,636/889 is 1/399038318
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 29,71,218,889 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(29,71,218,889) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(29,71,218,889) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(29,71,218,889) = ( 29 × 71 × 218 × 889 ) / 1
LCM(29,71,218,889) = 399038318 / 1
LCM(29,71,218,889) = 399038318
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
