Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 730,304,868 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 730,304,868 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 160,978,940
2 | 160, 978, 940 |
2 | 80, 489, 470 |
5 | 40, 489, 235 |
8, 489, 47 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 5 x 8 x 489 x 47 = 3677280
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3677280
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 730/160,304/978,868/940 is 2/3677280
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 160,978,940 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(160,978,940) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 20
GCF(160,978,940) x common factors =2 x 20 = 40
LCM(160,978,940) = ( 160 × 978 × 940 ) / 40
LCM(160,978,940) = 147091200 / 40
LCM(160,978,940) = 3677280
