Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 66,48,861 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 66,48,861 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 38,55,786
2 | 38, 55, 786 |
19, 55, 393 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 19 x 55 x 393 = 821370
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/821370
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 66/38,48/55,861/786 is 3/821370
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 38,55,786 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(38,55,786) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(38,55,786) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(38,55,786) = ( 38 × 55 × 786 ) / 2
LCM(38,55,786) = 1642740 / 2
LCM(38,55,786) = 821370
