Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 59,73,297 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 59,73,297 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 56,58,224
2 | 56, 58, 224 |
2 | 28, 29, 112 |
2 | 14, 29, 56 |
7 | 7, 29, 28 |
1, 29, 4 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 7 x 1 x 29 x 4 = 6496
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/6496
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 59/56,73/58,297/224 is 1/6496
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 56,58,224 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(56,58,224) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 56
GCF(56,58,224) x common factors =2 x 56 = 112
LCM(56,58,224) = ( 56 × 58 × 224 ) / 112
LCM(56,58,224) = 727552 / 112
LCM(56,58,224) = 6496
