Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 601,558,718 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 601,558,718 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,60,64
2 | 72, 60, 64 |
2 | 36, 30, 32 |
2 | 18, 15, 16 |
3 | 9, 15, 8 |
3, 5, 8 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 8 = 2880
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2880
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 601/72,558/60,718/64 is 1/2880
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 72,60,64 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,60,64) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 24
GCF(72,60,64) x common factors =4 x 24 = 96
LCM(72,60,64) = ( 72 × 60 × 64 ) / 96
LCM(72,60,64) = 276480 / 96
LCM(72,60,64) = 2880
