We found the factors 7,22,56,842 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7,22,56,842 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 73,52,296,494
2 | 73, 52, 296, 494 |
2 | 73, 26, 148, 247 |
13 | 73, 13, 74, 247 |
73, 1, 74, 19 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 13 x 73 x 1 x 74 x 19 = 5337176
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5337176
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7/73,22/52,56/296,842/494 is 1/5337176
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 73,52,296,494 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(73,52,296,494) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 104
GCF(73,52,296,494) x common factors =1 x 104 = 104
LCM(73,52,296,494) = ( 73 × 52 × 296 × 494 ) / 104
LCM(73,52,296,494) = 555066304 / 104
LCM(73,52,296,494) = 5337176
