Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 86,76,874 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 86,76,874 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 238,514,593
2 | 238, 514, 593 |
119, 257, 593 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 119 x 257 x 593 = 36271438
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/36271438
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 86/238,76/514,874/593 is 2/36271438
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 238,514,593 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(238,514,593) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(238,514,593) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(238,514,593) = ( 238 × 514 × 593 ) / 2
LCM(238,514,593) = 72542876 / 2
LCM(238,514,593) = 36271438
