Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 37,79,839 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 37,79,839 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 492,871,468
2 | 492, 871, 468 |
2 | 246, 871, 234 |
3 | 123, 871, 117 |
13 | 41, 871, 39 |
41, 67, 3 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 13 x 41 x 67 x 3 = 1285596
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1285596
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 37/492,79/871,839/468 is 1/1285596
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 492,871,468 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(492,871,468) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 156
GCF(492,871,468) x common factors =1 x 156 = 156
LCM(492,871,468) = ( 492 × 871 × 468 ) / 156
LCM(492,871,468) = 200552976 / 156
LCM(492,871,468) = 1285596
