Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 48,579,462 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 48,579,462 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 161,639,932
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 95883228
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/95883228
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 48/161,579/639,462/932 is 3/95883228
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 161,639,932 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(161,639,932) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(161,639,932) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(161,639,932) = ( 161 × 639 × 932 ) / 1
LCM(161,639,932) = 95883228 / 1
LCM(161,639,932) = 95883228
