Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 208,262,552 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 208,262,552 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 29,54,857
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1342062
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1342062
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 208/29,262/54,552/857 is 2/1342062
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 29,54,857 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(29,54,857) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(29,54,857) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(29,54,857) = ( 29 × 54 × 857 ) / 1
LCM(29,54,857) = 1342062 / 1
LCM(29,54,857) = 1342062
