Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 954,956,176 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 954,956,176 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 49,42,84
2 | 49, 42, 84 |
3 | 49, 21, 42 |
7 | 49, 7, 14 |
1, 7, 2 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 7 x 1 x 7 x 2 = 588
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/588
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 954/49,956/42,176/84 is 2/588
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 49,42,84 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(49,42,84) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 42
GCF(49,42,84) x common factors =7 x 42 = 294
LCM(49,42,84) = ( 49 × 42 × 84 ) / 294
LCM(49,42,84) = 172872 / 294
LCM(49,42,84) = 588
