Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 853,935,159 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 853,935,159 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 47,72,496
2 | 47, 72, 496 |
2 | 47, 36, 248 |
2 | 47, 18, 124 |
47, 9, 62 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 47 x 9 x 62 = 209808
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/209808
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 853/47,935/72,159/496 is 1/209808
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 47,72,496 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(47,72,496) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 8
GCF(47,72,496) x common factors =1 x 8 = 8
LCM(47,72,496) = ( 47 × 72 × 496 ) / 8
LCM(47,72,496) = 1678464 / 8
LCM(47,72,496) = 209808
