Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 79,32,398 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 79,32,398 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 99,18,242
2 | 99, 18, 242 |
3 | 99, 9, 121 |
3 | 33, 3, 121 |
11 | 11, 1, 121 |
1, 1, 11 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 11 x 1 x 1 x 11 = 2178
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2178
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 79/99,32/18,398/242 is 1/2178
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 99,18,242 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(99,18,242) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 198
GCF(99,18,242) x common factors =1 x 198 = 198
LCM(99,18,242) = ( 99 × 18 × 242 ) / 198
LCM(99,18,242) = 431244 / 198
LCM(99,18,242) = 2178
