Greatest Common Factor

We found the factors 36,297,138 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 36,297,138 is 3.

Lets's calculate LCM of 51,12,474

2 51, 12, 474
3 51, 6, 237
17, 2, 79

∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 17 x 2 x 79 = 16116

Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/16116

Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 36/51,297/12,138/474 is 3/16116

Least Common Multiple of 51,12,474 with GCF Formula

Least Common Multiple of 51,12,474 with GCF Formula

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 51,12,474 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(51,12,474) = 3

common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6

GCF(51,12,474) x common factors =3 x 6 = 18

LCM(51,12,474) = ( 51 × 12 × 474 ) / 18

LCM(51,12,474) = 290088 / 18

LCM(51,12,474) = 16116
