Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 86,938,231 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 86,938,231 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 486,244,495
2 | 486, 244, 495 |
3 | 243, 122, 495 |
3 | 81, 122, 165 |
27, 122, 55 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 27 x 122 x 55 = 3261060
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3261060
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 86/486,938/244,231/495 is 1/3261060
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 486,244,495 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(486,244,495) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 18
GCF(486,244,495) x common factors =1 x 18 = 18
LCM(486,244,495) = ( 486 × 244 × 495 ) / 18
LCM(486,244,495) = 58699080 / 18
LCM(486,244,495) = 3261060
