Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 36,258,214 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 36,258,214 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 255,299,146
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 11131770
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/11131770
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 36/255,258/299,214/146 is 2/11131770
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 255,299,146 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(255,299,146) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(255,299,146) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(255,299,146) = ( 255 × 299 × 146 ) / 1
LCM(255,299,146) = 11131770 / 1
LCM(255,299,146) = 11131770
