1,2,4,8,11,22,44,88,121,242,484,968
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 39,35,968 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 39,35,968 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,902,229
2 | 40, 902, 229 |
20, 451, 229 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 20 x 451 x 229 = 4131160
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4131160
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 39/40,35/902,968/229 is 1/4131160
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 40,902,229 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,902,229) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(40,902,229) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(40,902,229) = ( 40 × 902 × 229 ) / 2
LCM(40,902,229) = 8262320 / 2
LCM(40,902,229) = 4131160
