Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 74,24,838 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 74,24,838 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 28,935,648
2 | 28, 935, 648 |
2 | 14, 935, 324 |
7, 935, 162 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 7 x 935 x 162 = 4241160
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/4241160
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 74/28,24/935,838/648 is 2/4241160
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 28,935,648 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(28,935,648) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(28,935,648) x common factors =1 x 4 = 4
LCM(28,935,648) = ( 28 × 935 × 648 ) / 4
LCM(28,935,648) = 16964640 / 4
LCM(28,935,648) = 4241160
