1,3,197,591
Factors of 619
List of positive integer factors of 619 that divides 619 without a remainder.
1,619
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 42,591,619 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 42,591,619 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 64,31,789
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1565376
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1565376
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 42/64,591/31,619/789 is 1/1565376
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 64,31,789 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(64,31,789) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(64,31,789) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(64,31,789) = ( 64 × 31 × 789 ) / 1
LCM(64,31,789) = 1565376 / 1
LCM(64,31,789) = 1565376
