We found the factors 451,998,879 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 451,998,879 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 794,144,159
2 | 794, 144, 159 |
3 | 397, 72, 159 |
397, 24, 53 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 397 x 24 x 53 = 3029904
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3029904
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 451/794,998/144,879/159 is 1/3029904
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 794,144,159 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(794,144,159) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(794,144,159) x common factors =1 x 6 = 6
LCM(794,144,159) = ( 794 × 144 × 159 ) / 6
LCM(794,144,159) = 18179424 / 6
LCM(794,144,159) = 3029904
