1,859
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 360,238,859 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 360,238,859 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 78,69,197
3 | 78, 69, 197 |
26, 23, 197 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 26 x 23 x 197 = 353418
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/353418
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 360/78,238/69,859/197 is 1/353418
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 78,69,197 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(78,69,197) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(78,69,197) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(78,69,197) = ( 78 × 69 × 197 ) / 3
LCM(78,69,197) = 1060254 / 3
LCM(78,69,197) = 353418
