Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6,33,66,294 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6,33,66,294 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 14,28,714,898
2 | 14, 28, 714, 898 |
7 | 7, 14, 357, 449 |
1, 2, 51, 449 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 7 x 1 x 2 x 51 x 449 = 641172
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/641172
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6/14,33/28,66/714,294/898 is 3/641172
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 14,28,714,898 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(14,28,714,898) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 196
GCF(14,28,714,898) x common factors =2 x 196 = 392
LCM(14,28,714,898) = ( 14 × 28 × 714 × 898 ) / 392
LCM(14,28,714,898) = 251339424 / 392
LCM(14,28,714,898) = 641172
