Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 279,386,114 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 279,386,114 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 71,41,240
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 698640
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/698640
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 279/71,386/41,114/240 is 1/698640
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 71,41,240 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(71,41,240) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(71,41,240) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(71,41,240) = ( 71 × 41 × 240 ) / 1
LCM(71,41,240) = 698640 / 1
LCM(71,41,240) = 698640
