Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 574,188,324 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 574,188,324 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,47,35
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 118440
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/118440
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 574/72,188/47,324/35 is 2/118440
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 72,47,35 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,47,35) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(72,47,35) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(72,47,35) = ( 72 × 47 × 35 ) / 1
LCM(72,47,35) = 118440 / 1
LCM(72,47,35) = 118440
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
