Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 163,752,178 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 163,752,178 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 68,79,741
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3980652
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3980652
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 163/68,752/79,178/741 is 1/3980652
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 68,79,741 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(68,79,741) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(68,79,741) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(68,79,741) = ( 68 × 79 × 741 ) / 1
LCM(68,79,741) = 3980652 / 1
LCM(68,79,741) = 3980652
