1,3,53,159
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 21,219,159 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 21,219,159 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 521,225,791
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 92724975
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/92724975
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 21/521,219/225,159/791 is 3/92724975
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 521,225,791 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(521,225,791) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(521,225,791) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(521,225,791) = ( 521 × 225 × 791 ) / 1
LCM(521,225,791) = 92724975 / 1
LCM(521,225,791) = 92724975
