Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 587,420,648 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 587,420,648 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 34,89,74
2 | 34, 89, 74 |
17, 89, 37 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 17 x 89 x 37 = 111962
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/111962
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 587/34,420/89,648/74 is 1/111962
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 34,89,74 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(34,89,74) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(34,89,74) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(34,89,74) = ( 34 × 89 × 74 ) / 2
LCM(34,89,74) = 223924 / 2
LCM(34,89,74) = 111962
