We found the factors 262,388,257 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 262,388,257 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 236,198,497
2 | 236, 198, 497 |
118, 99, 497 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 118 x 99 x 497 = 11611908
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/11611908
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 262/236,388/198,257/497 is 1/11611908
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 236,198,497 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(236,198,497) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(236,198,497) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(236,198,497) = ( 236 × 198 × 497 ) / 2
LCM(236,198,497) = 23223816 / 2
LCM(236,198,497) = 11611908
