Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 443,549,742 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 443,549,742 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,99,504
2 | 72, 99, 504 |
2 | 36, 99, 252 |
2 | 18, 99, 126 |
3 | 9, 99, 63 |
3 | 3, 33, 21 |
1, 11, 7 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 1 x 11 x 7 = 5544
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5544
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 443/72,549/99,742/504 is 1/5544
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 72,99,504 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,99,504) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 72
GCF(72,99,504) x common factors =9 x 72 = 648
LCM(72,99,504) = ( 72 × 99 × 504 ) / 648
LCM(72,99,504) = 3592512 / 648
LCM(72,99,504) = 5544
