Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 9,836,743 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 9,836,743 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 99,78,37
3 | 99, 78, 37 |
33, 26, 37 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 33 x 26 x 37 = 95238
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/95238
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9/99,836/78,743/37 is 1/95238
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 99,78,37 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(99,78,37) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(99,78,37) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(99,78,37) = ( 99 × 78 × 37 ) / 3
LCM(99,78,37) = 285714 / 3
LCM(99,78,37) = 95238
