1,3,9,29,87,261
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 398,347,261 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 398,347,261 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 96,83,29
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 231072
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/231072
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 398/96,347/83,261/29 is 1/231072
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 96,83,29 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(96,83,29) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(96,83,29) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(96,83,29) = ( 96 × 83 × 29 ) / 1
LCM(96,83,29) = 231072 / 1
LCM(96,83,29) = 231072
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
