Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 98,40,836 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 98,40,836 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 18,38,479
2 | 18, 38, 479 |
9, 19, 479 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 9 x 19 x 479 = 163818
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/163818
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 98/18,40/38,836/479 is 2/163818
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 18,38,479 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(18,38,479) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(18,38,479) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(18,38,479) = ( 18 × 38 × 479 ) / 2
LCM(18,38,479) = 327636 / 2
LCM(18,38,479) = 163818
