Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 42,68,366 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 42,68,366 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 47,88,543
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2245848
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2245848
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 42/47,68/88,366/543 is 2/2245848
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 47,88,543 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(47,88,543) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(47,88,543) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(47,88,543) = ( 47 × 88 × 543 ) / 1
LCM(47,88,543) = 2245848 / 1
LCM(47,88,543) = 2245848
