Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 357,222,431 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 357,222,431 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 19,62,12
2 | 19, 62, 12 |
19, 31, 6 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 19 x 31 x 6 = 7068
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/7068
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 357/19,222/62,431/12 is 1/7068
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 19,62,12 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(19,62,12) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(19,62,12) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(19,62,12) = ( 19 × 62 × 12 ) / 2
LCM(19,62,12) = 14136 / 2
LCM(19,62,12) = 7068
