Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 338,826,444 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 338,826,444 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 84,74,74
2 | 84, 74, 74 |
37 | 42, 37, 37 |
42, 1, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 37 x 42 x 1 x 1 = 3108
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3108
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 338/84,826/74,444/74 is 2/3108
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 84,74,74 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(84,74,74) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 74
GCF(84,74,74) x common factors =2 x 74 = 148
LCM(84,74,74) = ( 84 × 74 × 74 ) / 148
LCM(84,74,74) = 459984 / 148
LCM(84,74,74) = 3108
