Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 302,987,178 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 302,987,178 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 31,69,862
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1843818
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1843818
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 302/31,987/69,178/862 is 1/1843818
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 31,69,862 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(31,69,862) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(31,69,862) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(31,69,862) = ( 31 × 69 × 862 ) / 1
LCM(31,69,862) = 1843818 / 1
LCM(31,69,862) = 1843818
