1,5,199,995
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7,16,73,995 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7,16,73,995 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 28,96,304,951
2 | 28, 96, 304, 951 |
2 | 14, 48, 152, 951 |
2 | 7, 24, 76, 951 |
2 | 7, 12, 38, 951 |
3 | 7, 6, 19, 951 |
7, 2, 19, 317 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 2 x 19 x 317 = 4047456
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4047456
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7/28,16/96,73/304,995/951 is 1/4047456
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 28,96,304,951 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(28,96,304,951) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 192
GCF(28,96,304,951) x common factors =1 x 192 = 192
LCM(28,96,304,951) = ( 28 × 96 × 304 × 951 ) / 192
LCM(28,96,304,951) = 777111552 / 192
LCM(28,96,304,951) = 4047456
