Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 40,74,712 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 40,74,712 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 958,817,739
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 578404954
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/578404954
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 40/958,74/817,712/739 is 2/578404954
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 958,817,739 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(958,817,739) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(958,817,739) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(958,817,739) = ( 958 × 817 × 739 ) / 1
LCM(958,817,739) = 578404954 / 1
LCM(958,817,739) = 578404954
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
