Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 72,943,731 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 72,943,731 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 57,80,696
2 | 57, 80, 696 |
2 | 57, 40, 348 |
2 | 57, 20, 174 |
3 | 57, 10, 87 |
19, 10, 29 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 19 x 10 x 29 = 132240
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/132240
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 72/57,943/80,731/696 is 1/132240
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 57,80,696 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(57,80,696) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 24
GCF(57,80,696) x common factors =1 x 24 = 24
LCM(57,80,696) = ( 57 × 80 × 696 ) / 24
LCM(57,80,696) = 3173760 / 24
LCM(57,80,696) = 132240
