We found the factors 236,256,387 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 236,256,387 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 771,251,884
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 171072564
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/171072564
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 236/771,256/251,387/884 is 1/171072564
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 771,251,884 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(771,251,884) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(771,251,884) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(771,251,884) = ( 771 × 251 × 884 ) / 1
LCM(771,251,884) = 171072564 / 1
LCM(771,251,884) = 171072564
