Greatest Common Factor

We found the factors 42,26,41 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 42,26,41 is 1.

Lets's calculate LCM of 14,24,46

2 14, 24, 46
7, 12, 23

∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 7 x 12 x 23 = 3864

Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3864

Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 42/14,26/24,41/46 is 1/3864

Least Common Multiple of 14,24,46 with GCF Formula

Least Common Multiple of 14,24,46 with GCF Formula

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 14,24,46 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(14,24,46) = 2

common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2

GCF(14,24,46) x common factors =2 x 2 = 4

LCM(14,24,46) = ( 14 × 24 × 46 ) / 4

LCM(14,24,46) = 15456 / 4

LCM(14,24,46) = 3864
