1,5,139,695
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 42,621,695 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 42,621,695 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 859,374,961
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 308736626
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/308736626
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 42/859,621/374,695/961 is 1/308736626
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 859,374,961 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(859,374,961) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(859,374,961) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(859,374,961) = ( 859 × 374 × 961 ) / 1
LCM(859,374,961) = 308736626 / 1
LCM(859,374,961) = 308736626
