Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 167,836,421 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 167,836,421 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 743,499,959
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 355555963
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/355555963
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 167/743,836/499,421/959 is 1/355555963
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 743,499,959 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(743,499,959) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(743,499,959) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(743,499,959) = ( 743 × 499 × 959 ) / 1
LCM(743,499,959) = 355555963 / 1
LCM(743,499,959) = 355555963
