1,2,5,7,10,14,35,49,70,98,245,490
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 36,29,490 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 36,29,490 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 472,659,539
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 167654872
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/167654872
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 36/472,29/659,490/539 is 1/167654872
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 472,659,539 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(472,659,539) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(472,659,539) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(472,659,539) = ( 472 × 659 × 539 ) / 1
LCM(472,659,539) = 167654872 / 1
LCM(472,659,539) = 167654872
