1,17,289
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 155,708,289 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 155,708,289 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,59,13
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 55224
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/55224
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 155/72,708/59,289/13 is 1/55224
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 72,59,13 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,59,13) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(72,59,13) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(72,59,13) = ( 72 × 59 × 13 ) / 1
LCM(72,59,13) = 55224 / 1
LCM(72,59,13) = 55224
