Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 72,83,457 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 72,83,457 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 91,76,238
2 | 91, 76, 238 |
7 | 91, 38, 119 |
13, 38, 17 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 7 x 13 x 38 x 17 = 117572
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/117572
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 72/91,83/76,457/238 is 1/117572
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 91,76,238 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(91,76,238) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 14
GCF(91,76,238) x common factors =1 x 14 = 14
LCM(91,76,238) = ( 91 × 76 × 238 ) / 14
LCM(91,76,238) = 1646008 / 14
LCM(91,76,238) = 117572
