Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 36,18,577 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 36,18,577 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 87,84,696
2 | 87, 84, 696 |
2 | 87, 42, 348 |
3 | 87, 21, 174 |
29 | 29, 7, 58 |
1, 7, 2 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 29 x 1 x 7 x 2 = 4872
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4872
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 36/87,18/84,577/696 is 1/4872
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 87,84,696 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(87,84,696) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 348
GCF(87,84,696) x common factors =3 x 348 = 1044
LCM(87,84,696) = ( 87 × 84 × 696 ) / 1044
LCM(87,84,696) = 5086368 / 1044
LCM(87,84,696) = 4872
