Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 285,892,287 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 285,892,287 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 99,31,43
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 131967
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/131967
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 285/99,892/31,287/43 is 1/131967
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 99,31,43 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(99,31,43) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(99,31,43) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(99,31,43) = ( 99 × 31 × 43 ) / 1
LCM(99,31,43) = 131967 / 1
LCM(99,31,43) = 131967
