Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 73,171,143 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 73,171,143 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 18,29,786
2 | 18, 29, 786 |
3 | 9, 29, 393 |
3, 29, 131 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 29 x 131 = 68382
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/68382
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 73/18,171/29,143/786 is 1/68382
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 18,29,786 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(18,29,786) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(18,29,786) x common factors =1 x 6 = 6
LCM(18,29,786) = ( 18 × 29 × 786 ) / 6
LCM(18,29,786) = 410292 / 6
LCM(18,29,786) = 68382
