Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 387,196,723 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 387,196,723 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 48,20,538
2 | 48, 20, 538 |
2 | 24, 10, 269 |
12, 5, 269 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 12 x 5 x 269 = 64560
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/64560
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 387/48,196/20,723/538 is 1/64560
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 48,20,538 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(48,20,538) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(48,20,538) x common factors =2 x 4 = 8
LCM(48,20,538) = ( 48 × 20 × 538 ) / 8
LCM(48,20,538) = 516480 / 8
LCM(48,20,538) = 64560
