We found the factors 370,994,258 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 370,994,258 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 58,13,52
2 | 58, 13, 52 |
13 | 29, 13, 26 |
29, 1, 2 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 13 x 29 x 1 x 2 = 1508
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1508
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 370/58,994/13,258/52 is 2/1508
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 58,13,52 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(58,13,52) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 26
GCF(58,13,52) x common factors =1 x 26 = 26
LCM(58,13,52) = ( 58 × 13 × 52 ) / 26
LCM(58,13,52) = 39208 / 26
LCM(58,13,52) = 1508
