We found the factors 85,27,915 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 85,27,915 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 52,728,306
2 | 52, 728, 306 |
2 | 26, 364, 153 |
13 | 13, 182, 153 |
1, 14, 153 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 13 x 1 x 14 x 153 = 111384
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/111384
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 85/52,27/728,915/306 is 1/111384
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 52,728,306 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(52,728,306) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 52
GCF(52,728,306) x common factors =2 x 52 = 104
LCM(52,728,306) = ( 52 × 728 × 306 ) / 104
LCM(52,728,306) = 11583936 / 104
LCM(52,728,306) = 111384
