1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,16,18,24,36,48,72,144
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 31,96,144 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 31,96,144 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 217,697,836
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 126444164
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/126444164
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 31/217,96/697,144/836 is 1/126444164
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 217,697,836 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(217,697,836) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(217,697,836) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(217,697,836) = ( 217 × 697 × 836 ) / 1
LCM(217,697,836) = 126444164 / 1
LCM(217,697,836) = 126444164
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
