1,2,4,59,118,236
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 522,547,236 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 522,547,236 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 59,48,157
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 444624
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/444624
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 522/59,547/48,236/157 is 1/444624
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 59,48,157 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(59,48,157) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(59,48,157) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(59,48,157) = ( 59 × 48 × 157 ) / 1
LCM(59,48,157) = 444624 / 1
LCM(59,48,157) = 444624
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
