Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 31,24,595 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 31,24,595 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 26,718,718
2 | 26, 718, 718 |
359 | 13, 359, 359 |
13, 1, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 359 x 13 x 1 x 1 = 9334
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/9334
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 31/26,24/718,595/718 is 1/9334
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 26,718,718 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(26,718,718) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 718
GCF(26,718,718) x common factors =2 x 718 = 1436
LCM(26,718,718) = ( 26 × 718 × 718 ) / 1436
LCM(26,718,718) = 13403624 / 1436
LCM(26,718,718) = 9334
