We found the factors 144,884,124 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 144,884,124 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 56,29,829
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1346296
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/1346296
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 144/56,884/29,124/829 is 4/1346296
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 56,29,829 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(56,29,829) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(56,29,829) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(56,29,829) = ( 56 × 29 × 829 ) / 1
LCM(56,29,829) = 1346296 / 1
LCM(56,29,829) = 1346296
