Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 261,468,659 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 261,468,659 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 458,481,926
2 | 458, 481, 926 |
229, 481, 463 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 229 x 481 x 463 = 101997974
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/101997974
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 261/458,468/481,659/926 is 1/101997974
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 458,481,926 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(458,481,926) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(458,481,926) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(458,481,926) = ( 458 × 481 × 926 ) / 2
LCM(458,481,926) = 203995948 / 2
LCM(458,481,926) = 101997974
