Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 46,491,755 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 46,491,755 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 987,518,594
2 | 987, 518, 594 |
3 | 987, 259, 297 |
7 | 329, 259, 99 |
47, 37, 99 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 7 x 47 x 37 x 99 = 7230762
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/7230762
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 46/987,491/518,755/594 is 1/7230762
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 987,518,594 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(987,518,594) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 42
GCF(987,518,594) x common factors =1 x 42 = 42
LCM(987,518,594) = ( 987 × 518 × 594 ) / 42
LCM(987,518,594) = 303692004 / 42
LCM(987,518,594) = 7230762
