Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 38,976,748 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 38,976,748 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 901,193,931
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 161894383
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/161894383
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 38/901,976/193,748/931 is 2/161894383
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 901,193,931 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(901,193,931) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(901,193,931) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(901,193,931) = ( 901 × 193 × 931 ) / 1
LCM(901,193,931) = 161894383 / 1
LCM(901,193,931) = 161894383
