1,2,3,4,6,12,43,86,129,172,258,516
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8,390,516 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8,390,516 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 36,19,79
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 54036
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/54036
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8/36,390/19,516/79 is 2/54036
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 36,19,79 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,19,79) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(36,19,79) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(36,19,79) = ( 36 × 19 × 79 ) / 1
LCM(36,19,79) = 54036 / 1
LCM(36,19,79) = 54036
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
