Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 31,79,609 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 31,79,609 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 46,446,237
2 | 46, 446, 237 |
23, 223, 237 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 23 x 223 x 237 = 2431146
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2431146
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 31/46,79/446,609/237 is 1/2431146
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 46,446,237 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(46,446,237) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(46,446,237) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(46,446,237) = ( 46 × 446 × 237 ) / 2
LCM(46,446,237) = 4862292 / 2
LCM(46,446,237) = 2431146
