Lets's calculate LCM of 55,263,996

Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 14407140

Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/14407140

Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 36/55,42/263,216/996 is 6/14407140

Least Common Multiple of 55,263,996 with GCF Formula

Least Common Multiple of 55,263,996 with GCF Formula

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 55,263,996 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(55,263,996) = 1

common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1

GCF(55,263,996) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1

LCM(55,263,996) = ( 55 × 263 × 996 ) / 1

LCM(55,263,996) = 14407140 / 1

LCM(55,263,996) = 14407140
