Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 578,736,120 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 578,736,120 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,30,591
2 | 42, 30, 591 |
3 | 21, 15, 591 |
7, 5, 197 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 7 x 5 x 197 = 41370
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/41370
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 578/42,736/30,120/591 is 2/41370
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 42,30,591 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,30,591) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(42,30,591) x common factors =3 x 6 = 18
LCM(42,30,591) = ( 42 × 30 × 591 ) / 18
LCM(42,30,591) = 744660 / 18
LCM(42,30,591) = 41370
