1,617
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 36,536,617 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 36,536,617 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 281,301,331
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 27996311
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/27996311
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 36/281,536/301,617/331 is 1/27996311
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 281,301,331 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(281,301,331) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(281,301,331) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(281,301,331) = ( 281 × 301 × 331 ) / 1
LCM(281,301,331) = 27996311 / 1
LCM(281,301,331) = 27996311
