Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 126,483,378 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 126,483,378 is 21.
Lets's calculate LCM of 29,46,733
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 977822
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 21/977822
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 126/29,483/46,378/733 is 21/977822
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 29,46,733 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(29,46,733) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(29,46,733) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(29,46,733) = ( 29 × 46 × 733 ) / 1
LCM(29,46,733) = 977822 / 1
LCM(29,46,733) = 977822
