Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 374,454,748 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 374,454,748 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,79,173
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 574014
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/574014
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 374/42,454/79,748/173 is 2/574014
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 42,79,173 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,79,173) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,79,173) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(42,79,173) = ( 42 × 79 × 173 ) / 1
LCM(42,79,173) = 574014 / 1
LCM(42,79,173) = 574014
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
