Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 48,20,246 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 48,20,246 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 460,669,629
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 193568460
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/193568460
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 48/460,20/669,246/629 is 2/193568460
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 460,669,629 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(460,669,629) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(460,669,629) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(460,669,629) = ( 460 × 669 × 629 ) / 1
LCM(460,669,629) = 193568460 / 1
LCM(460,669,629) = 193568460
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
