1,433
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 36,870,433 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 36,870,433 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 440,256,745
2 | 440, 256, 745 |
2 | 220, 128, 745 |
2 | 110, 64, 745 |
5 | 55, 32, 745 |
11, 32, 149 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 11 x 32 x 149 = 2097920
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2097920
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 36/440,870/256,433/745 is 1/2097920
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 440,256,745 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(440,256,745) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 40
GCF(440,256,745) x common factors =1 x 40 = 40
LCM(440,256,745) = ( 440 × 256 × 745 ) / 40
LCM(440,256,745) = 83916800 / 40
LCM(440,256,745) = 2097920
