We found the factors 712,150,378 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 712,150,378 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 16,18,291
2 | 16, 18, 291 |
3 | 8, 9, 291 |
8, 3, 97 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 8 x 3 x 97 = 13968
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/13968
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 712/16,150/18,378/291 is 2/13968
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 16,18,291 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(16,18,291) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(16,18,291) x common factors =1 x 6 = 6
LCM(16,18,291) = ( 16 × 18 × 291 ) / 6
LCM(16,18,291) = 83808 / 6
LCM(16,18,291) = 13968
