1,3,9,71,213,639
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 41,37,639 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 41,37,639 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 740,537,258
2 | 740, 537, 258 |
3 | 370, 537, 129 |
370, 179, 43 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 370 x 179 x 43 = 17087340
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/17087340
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 41/740,37/537,639/258 is 1/17087340
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 740,537,258 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(740,537,258) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(740,537,258) x common factors =1 x 6 = 6
LCM(740,537,258) = ( 740 × 537 × 258 ) / 6
LCM(740,537,258) = 102524040 / 6
LCM(740,537,258) = 17087340
