1,281
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 138,338,281 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 138,338,281 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 91,17,183
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 283101
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/283101
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 138/91,338/17,281/183 is 1/283101
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 91,17,183 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(91,17,183) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(91,17,183) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(91,17,183) = ( 91 × 17 × 183 ) / 1
LCM(91,17,183) = 283101 / 1
LCM(91,17,183) = 283101
