1,727
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 226,778,727 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 226,778,727 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 74,31,879
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2016426
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2016426
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 226/74,778/31,727/879 is 1/2016426
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 74,31,879 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(74,31,879) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(74,31,879) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(74,31,879) = ( 74 × 31 × 879 ) / 1
LCM(74,31,879) = 2016426 / 1
LCM(74,31,879) = 2016426
