We found the factors 58,885,738 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 58,885,738 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 56,16,336
2 | 56, 16, 336 |
2 | 28, 8, 168 |
2 | 14, 4, 84 |
2 | 7, 2, 42 |
7 | 7, 1, 21 |
1, 1, 3 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 7 x 1 x 1 x 3 = 336
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/336
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 58/56,885/16,738/336 is 1/336
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 56,16,336 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(56,16,336) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 112
GCF(56,16,336) x common factors =8 x 112 = 896
LCM(56,16,336) = ( 56 × 16 × 336 ) / 896
LCM(56,16,336) = 301056 / 896
LCM(56,16,336) = 336
