1,2,4,41,82,164
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 76,34,164 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 76,34,164 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,727,503
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 15358602
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/15358602
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 76/42,34/727,164/503 is 2/15358602
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 42,727,503 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,727,503) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,727,503) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(42,727,503) = ( 42 × 727 × 503 ) / 1
LCM(42,727,503) = 15358602 / 1
LCM(42,727,503) = 15358602
