1,229
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 78,977,229 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 78,977,229 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 144,788,322
2 | 144, 788, 322 |
2 | 72, 394, 161 |
36, 197, 161 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 36 x 197 x 161 = 4567248
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4567248
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 78/144,977/788,229/322 is 1/4567248
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 144,788,322 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(144,788,322) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(144,788,322) x common factors =2 x 4 = 8
LCM(144,788,322) = ( 144 × 788 × 322 ) / 8
LCM(144,788,322) = 36537984 / 8
LCM(144,788,322) = 4567248
