Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 36,282,658 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 36,282,658 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 26,67,444
2 | 26, 67, 444 |
13, 67, 222 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 13 x 67 x 222 = 386724
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/386724
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 36/26,282/67,658/444 is 2/386724
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 26,67,444 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(26,67,444) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(26,67,444) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(26,67,444) = ( 26 × 67 × 444 ) / 2
LCM(26,67,444) = 773448 / 2
LCM(26,67,444) = 386724
