We found the factors 587,454,936 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 587,454,936 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 84,28,736
2 | 84, 28, 736 |
2 | 42, 14, 368 |
7 | 21, 7, 184 |
3, 1, 184 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 7 x 3 x 1 x 184 = 15456
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/15456
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 587/84,454/28,936/736 is 1/15456
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 84,28,736 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(84,28,736) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 28
GCF(84,28,736) x common factors =4 x 28 = 112
LCM(84,28,736) = ( 84 × 28 × 736 ) / 112
LCM(84,28,736) = 1731072 / 112
LCM(84,28,736) = 15456
