Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 672,452,981 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 672,452,981 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 23,26,12
2 | 23, 26, 12 |
23, 13, 6 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 23 x 13 x 6 = 3588
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3588
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 672/23,452/26,981/12 is 1/3588
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 23,26,12 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(23,26,12) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(23,26,12) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(23,26,12) = ( 23 × 26 × 12 ) / 2
LCM(23,26,12) = 7176 / 2
LCM(23,26,12) = 3588
