Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 97,532,601 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 97,532,601 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 96,42,771
2 | 96, 42, 771 |
3 | 48, 21, 771 |
16, 7, 257 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 16 x 7 x 257 = 172704
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/172704
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 97/96,532/42,601/771 is 1/172704
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 96,42,771 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(96,42,771) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(96,42,771) x common factors =3 x 6 = 18
LCM(96,42,771) = ( 96 × 42 × 771 ) / 18
LCM(96,42,771) = 3108672 / 18
LCM(96,42,771) = 172704
