Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 201,969,228 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 201,969,228 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 99,31,964
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2958516
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/2958516
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 201/99,969/31,228/964 is 3/2958516
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 99,31,964 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(99,31,964) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(99,31,964) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(99,31,964) = ( 99 × 31 × 964 ) / 1
LCM(99,31,964) = 2958516 / 1
LCM(99,31,964) = 2958516
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
