We found the factors 403,376,412 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 403,376,412 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 97,34,72
2 | 97, 34, 72 |
97, 17, 36 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 97 x 17 x 36 = 118728
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/118728
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 403/97,376/34,412/72 is 1/118728
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 97,34,72 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(97,34,72) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(97,34,72) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(97,34,72) = ( 97 × 34 × 72 ) / 2
LCM(97,34,72) = 237456 / 2
LCM(97,34,72) = 118728
