Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 258,999,264 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 258,999,264 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 47,23,377
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 407537
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/407537
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 258/47,999/23,264/377 is 3/407537
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 47,23,377 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(47,23,377) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(47,23,377) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(47,23,377) = ( 47 × 23 × 377 ) / 1
LCM(47,23,377) = 407537 / 1
LCM(47,23,377) = 407537
