Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 9,72,57,231 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 9,72,57,231 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 46,55,351,179
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 158957370
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/158957370
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9/46,72/55,57/351,231/179 is 3/158957370
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 46,55,351,179 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(46,55,351,179) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(46,55,351,179) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(46,55,351,179) = ( 46 × 55 × 351 × 179 ) / 1
LCM(46,55,351,179) = 158957370 / 1
LCM(46,55,351,179) = 158957370
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
