Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 78,26,942 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 78,26,942 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 34,63,629
17 | 34, 63, 629 |
2, 63, 37 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 17 x 2 x 63 x 37 = 79254
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/79254
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 78/34,26/63,942/629 is 2/79254
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 34,63,629 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(34,63,629) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 17
GCF(34,63,629) x common factors =1 x 17 = 17
LCM(34,63,629) = ( 34 × 63 × 629 ) / 17
LCM(34,63,629) = 1347318 / 17
LCM(34,63,629) = 79254
