1,2,11,22,43,86,473,946
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 158,223,946 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 158,223,946 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 11,86,171
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 161766
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/161766
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 158/11,223/86,946/171 is 1/161766
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 11,86,171 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(11,86,171) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(11,86,171) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(11,86,171) = ( 11 × 86 × 171 ) / 1
LCM(11,86,171) = 161766 / 1
LCM(11,86,171) = 161766
