Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 497,185,273 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 497,185,273 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 37,51,48
3 | 37, 51, 48 |
37, 17, 16 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 37 x 17 x 16 = 30192
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/30192
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 497/37,185/51,273/48 is 1/30192
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 37,51,48 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(37,51,48) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(37,51,48) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(37,51,48) = ( 37 × 51 × 48 ) / 3
LCM(37,51,48) = 90576 / 3
LCM(37,51,48) = 30192
