Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 43,876,732 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 43,876,732 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,17,932
2 | 72, 17, 932 |
2 | 36, 17, 466 |
18, 17, 233 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 18 x 17 x 233 = 285192
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/285192
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 43/72,876/17,732/932 is 1/285192
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 72,17,932 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,17,932) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(72,17,932) x common factors =1 x 4 = 4
LCM(72,17,932) = ( 72 × 17 × 932 ) / 4
LCM(72,17,932) = 1140768 / 4
LCM(72,17,932) = 285192
