Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 78,60,551 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 78,60,551 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 38,512,442
2 | 38, 512, 442 |
19, 256, 221 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 19 x 256 x 221 = 2149888
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2149888
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 78/38,60/512,551/442 is 1/2149888
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 38,512,442 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(38,512,442) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(38,512,442) x common factors =2 x 2 = 4
LCM(38,512,442) = ( 38 × 512 × 442 ) / 4
LCM(38,512,442) = 8599552 / 4
LCM(38,512,442) = 2149888
