Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 36,674,204 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 36,674,204 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,99,278
2 | 42, 99, 278 |
3 | 21, 99, 139 |
7, 33, 139 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 7 x 33 x 139 = 192654
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/192654
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 36/42,674/99,204/278 is 2/192654
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 42,99,278 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,99,278) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(42,99,278) x common factors =1 x 6 = 6
LCM(42,99,278) = ( 42 × 99 × 278 ) / 6
LCM(42,99,278) = 1155924 / 6
LCM(42,99,278) = 192654
