Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 476,171,422 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 476,171,422 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 21,20,247
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 103740
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/103740
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 476/21,171/20,422/247 is 1/103740
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 21,20,247 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(21,20,247) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(21,20,247) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(21,20,247) = ( 21 × 20 × 247 ) / 1
LCM(21,20,247) = 103740 / 1
LCM(21,20,247) = 103740
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
