Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 50,76,792 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 50,76,792 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 198,211,491
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 20512998
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/20512998
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 50/198,76/211,792/491 is 2/20512998
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 198,211,491 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(198,211,491) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(198,211,491) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(198,211,491) = ( 198 × 211 × 491 ) / 1
LCM(198,211,491) = 20512998 / 1
LCM(198,211,491) = 20512998
