Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 40,964,535 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 40,964,535 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 262,524,949
2 | 262, 524, 949 |
131 | 131, 262, 949 |
1, 2, 949 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 131 x 1 x 2 x 949 = 497276
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/497276
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 40/262,964/524,535/949 is 1/497276
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 262,524,949 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(262,524,949) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 262
GCF(262,524,949) x common factors =1 x 262 = 262
LCM(262,524,949) = ( 262 × 524 × 949 ) / 262
LCM(262,524,949) = 130286312 / 262
LCM(262,524,949) = 497276
