Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 333,240,654 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 333,240,654 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 205,972,792
2 | 205, 972, 792 |
2 | 205, 486, 396 |
3 | 205, 243, 198 |
3 | 205, 81, 66 |
205, 27, 22 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 205 x 27 x 22 = 4383720
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/4383720
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 333/205,240/972,654/792 is 3/4383720
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 205,972,792 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(205,972,792) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 36
GCF(205,972,792) x common factors =1 x 36 = 36
LCM(205,972,792) = ( 205 × 972 × 792 ) / 36
LCM(205,972,792) = 157813920 / 36
LCM(205,972,792) = 4383720
