1,2,4,5,7,8,10,14,20,28,35,40,56,70,140,280
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 159,258,280 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 159,258,280 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 79,89,634
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4457654
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4457654
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 159/79,258/89,280/634 is 1/4457654
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 79,89,634 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(79,89,634) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(79,89,634) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(79,89,634) = ( 79 × 89 × 634 ) / 1
LCM(79,89,634) = 4457654 / 1
LCM(79,89,634) = 4457654
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
