Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 82,84,360 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 82,84,360 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 29,702,943
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 19197594
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/19197594
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 82/29,84/702,360/943 is 2/19197594
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 29,702,943 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(29,702,943) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(29,702,943) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(29,702,943) = ( 29 × 702 × 943 ) / 1
LCM(29,702,943) = 19197594 / 1
LCM(29,702,943) = 19197594
