Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 397,499,471 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 397,499,471 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 34,71,256
2 | 34, 71, 256 |
17, 71, 128 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 17 x 71 x 128 = 308992
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/308992
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 397/34,499/71,471/256 is 1/308992
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 34,71,256 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(34,71,256) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(34,71,256) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(34,71,256) = ( 34 × 71 × 256 ) / 2
LCM(34,71,256) = 617984 / 2
LCM(34,71,256) = 308992
