1,2,499,998
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 52,10,998 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 52,10,998 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 257,124,441
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 14053788
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/14053788
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 52/257,10/124,998/441 is 2/14053788
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 257,124,441 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(257,124,441) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(257,124,441) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(257,124,441) = ( 257 × 124 × 441 ) / 1
LCM(257,124,441) = 14053788 / 1
LCM(257,124,441) = 14053788
