Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 636,565,960 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 636,565,960 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 250,500,373
2 | 250, 500, 373 |
5 | 125, 250, 373 |
5 | 25, 50, 373 |
5 | 5, 10, 373 |
1, 2, 373 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 1 x 2 x 373 = 186500
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/186500
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 636/250,565/500,960/373 is 1/186500
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 250,500,373 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(250,500,373) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 250
GCF(250,500,373) x common factors =1 x 250 = 250
LCM(250,500,373) = ( 250 × 500 × 373 ) / 250
LCM(250,500,373) = 46625000 / 250
LCM(250,500,373) = 186500
