1,2,109,218
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 49,865,218 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 49,865,218 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 287,983,537
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 151498977
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/151498977
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 49/287,865/983,218/537 is 1/151498977
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 287,983,537 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(287,983,537) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(287,983,537) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(287,983,537) = ( 287 × 983 × 537 ) / 1
LCM(287,983,537) = 151498977 / 1
LCM(287,983,537) = 151498977
