Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 101,242,720 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 101,242,720 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 62,97,143
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 860002
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/860002
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 101/62,242/97,720/143 is 1/860002
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 62,97,143 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(62,97,143) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(62,97,143) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(62,97,143) = ( 62 × 97 × 143 ) / 1
LCM(62,97,143) = 860002 / 1
LCM(62,97,143) = 860002
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
