We found the factors 403,144,578 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 403,144,578 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 253,733,973
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 180441877
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/180441877
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 403/253,144/733,578/973 is 1/180441877
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 253,733,973 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(253,733,973) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(253,733,973) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(253,733,973) = ( 253 × 733 × 973 ) / 1
LCM(253,733,973) = 180441877 / 1
LCM(253,733,973) = 180441877
