Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 56,98,412 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 56,98,412 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 421,228,238
2 | 421, 228, 238 |
421, 114, 119 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 421 x 114 x 119 = 11422572
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/11422572
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 56/421,98/228,412/238 is 2/11422572
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 421,228,238 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(421,228,238) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(421,228,238) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(421,228,238) = ( 421 × 228 × 238 ) / 2
LCM(421,228,238) = 22845144 / 2
LCM(421,228,238) = 11422572
