Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 179,996,656 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 179,996,656 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 237,437,205
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 21231645
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/21231645
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 179/237,996/437,656/205 is 1/21231645
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 237,437,205 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(237,437,205) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(237,437,205) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(237,437,205) = ( 237 × 437 × 205 ) / 1
LCM(237,437,205) = 21231645 / 1
LCM(237,437,205) = 21231645
