Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 162,171,580 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 162,171,580 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 79,38,207
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 621414
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/621414
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 162/79,171/38,580/207 is 1/621414
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 79,38,207 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(79,38,207) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(79,38,207) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(79,38,207) = ( 79 × 38 × 207 ) / 1
LCM(79,38,207) = 621414 / 1
LCM(79,38,207) = 621414
