Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 974,939,874 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 974,939,874 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 18,47,578
2 | 18, 47, 578 |
9, 47, 289 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 9 x 47 x 289 = 244494
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/244494
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 974/18,939/47,874/578 is 1/244494
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 18,47,578 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(18,47,578) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(18,47,578) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(18,47,578) = ( 18 × 47 × 578 ) / 2
LCM(18,47,578) = 488988 / 2
LCM(18,47,578) = 244494
