Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 55,49,432 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 55,49,432 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 37,39,118
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 170274
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/170274
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 55/37,49/39,432/118 is 1/170274
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 37,39,118 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(37,39,118) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(37,39,118) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(37,39,118) = ( 37 × 39 × 118 ) / 1
LCM(37,39,118) = 170274 / 1
LCM(37,39,118) = 170274
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
