Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 34,36,958 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 34,36,958 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 73,47,298
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1022438
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1022438
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 34/73,36/47,958/298 is 2/1022438
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 73,47,298 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(73,47,298) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(73,47,298) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(73,47,298) = ( 73 × 47 × 298 ) / 1
LCM(73,47,298) = 1022438 / 1
LCM(73,47,298) = 1022438
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
