Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 52,582,762 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 52,582,762 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 472,846,480
2 | 472, 846, 480 |
2 | 236, 423, 240 |
2 | 118, 423, 120 |
3 | 59, 423, 60 |
59, 141, 20 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 59 x 141 x 20 = 3993120
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3993120
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 52/472,582/846,762/480 is 2/3993120
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 472,846,480 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(472,846,480) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 24
GCF(472,846,480) x common factors =2 x 24 = 48
LCM(472,846,480) = ( 472 × 846 × 480 ) / 48
LCM(472,846,480) = 191669760 / 48
LCM(472,846,480) = 3993120
