Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 47,17,500 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 47,17,500 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 17,179,703
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2139229
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2139229
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 47/17,17/179,500/703 is 1/2139229
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 17,179,703 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(17,179,703) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(17,179,703) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(17,179,703) = ( 17 × 179 × 703 ) / 1
LCM(17,179,703) = 2139229 / 1
LCM(17,179,703) = 2139229
