Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 266,721,835 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 266,721,835 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 897,991,968
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 860481336
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/860481336
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 266/897,721/991,835/968 is 1/860481336
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 897,991,968 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(897,991,968) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(897,991,968) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(897,991,968) = ( 897 × 991 × 968 ) / 1
LCM(897,991,968) = 860481336 / 1
LCM(897,991,968) = 860481336
