Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 288,227,493 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 288,227,493 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 43,44,213
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 402996
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/402996
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 288/43,227/44,493/213 is 1/402996
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 43,44,213 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(43,44,213) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(43,44,213) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(43,44,213) = ( 43 × 44 × 213 ) / 1
LCM(43,44,213) = 402996 / 1
LCM(43,44,213) = 402996
