Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 47,138,217 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 47,138,217 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 20,22,662
2 | 20, 22, 662 |
10, 11, 331 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 10 x 11 x 331 = 72820
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/72820
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 47/20,138/22,217/662 is 1/72820
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 20,22,662 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(20,22,662) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(20,22,662) x common factors =2 x 2 = 4
LCM(20,22,662) = ( 20 × 22 × 662 ) / 4
LCM(20,22,662) = 291280 / 4
LCM(20,22,662) = 72820
