Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 48,84,790 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 48,84,790 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 83,32,296
2 | 83, 32, 296 |
2 | 83, 16, 148 |
2 | 83, 8, 74 |
83, 4, 37 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 83 x 4 x 37 = 98272
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/98272
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 48/83,84/32,790/296 is 2/98272
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 83,32,296 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(83,32,296) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 8
GCF(83,32,296) x common factors =1 x 8 = 8
LCM(83,32,296) = ( 83 × 32 × 296 ) / 8
LCM(83,32,296) = 786176 / 8
LCM(83,32,296) = 98272
