Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 957,111,499 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 957,111,499 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 48,96,78
2 | 48, 96, 78 |
2 | 24, 48, 39 |
2 | 12, 24, 39 |
2 | 6, 12, 39 |
3 | 3, 6, 39 |
1, 2, 13 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 1 x 2 x 13 = 1248
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1248
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 957/48,111/96,499/78 is 1/1248
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 48,96,78 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(48,96,78) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 48
GCF(48,96,78) x common factors =6 x 48 = 288
LCM(48,96,78) = ( 48 × 96 × 78 ) / 288
LCM(48,96,78) = 359424 / 288
LCM(48,96,78) = 1248
